Consciously aggressive to the basket, while looking for an open teammate. On the ball defense, causing havoc, forcing offense to make mistakes. Play both ends of the court with the mentality to win. Team first.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Tough minded player, I’ve always used my quickness to the basket to my advantage. Whether it’s scoring or finding an open teammate. I understand that defense wins championships and I work hard at it. The team has always come first and I will continue to lead my teammates on both ends of the court and find ways to help us win.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Community camp leader award, helping younger girls grow their game. Teaching fundamentals and importance of communication.

I understand that many younger girls watch my game and have said they are inspired by it. I intend to keep helping younger girls grow their game by helping them and talking with them.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Physical challenges such as a sprained ankle which forced me to sit a playoff half but was able to heal enough to play in the championship game the following day.
