Player Bio
How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
I model my game after T-Mac—smooth, composed, but explosive when needed. I handle the ball well, create space off the dribble, and have a strong midrange pull-up. I read defenses effectively and know how to pick my spots, whether that’s coming off a screen or creating in iso. I’m an unselfish player who looks to involve my teammates, but I’m also confident taking over when it’s time.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I’m naturally quiet and tend to keep to myself, but I’m always locked in and focused.
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
Yes, I’m involved in a few programs outside of sports. I’m part of AVID and BSU at my school, and I’m also in the Sowing Seeds mentorship program. Each of these has helped me grow as a student and a leader, on and off the court.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
Through AVID, BSU, and the Sowing Seeds program, I’ve built strong leadership, teamwork, and communication skills. I’ve learned to support others, stay accountable, and lead by example. I also have a strong support system—my mom, sister keep me grounded. They’ve taught me the value of giving back, staying true to myself, and showing up for my community.
What type of college are you looking for?
I’m looking for a college that feels balanced—somewhere with good weather and sun, not too overwhelming or chaotic. I’d love a school where my family can come visit and see me play. A place with culture and community is important to me too—somewhere I can feel connected, supported, and continue to grow both as a student and as an athlete.
