Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I would describe my game play as hustle because I will go out there and give it my all. I may not be the best on offense but I will make up for it on defense I am always in there to get rebounds and will play the best I can wether it be offense or defense.

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

I would describe my mentality as strong. I recently broke my ankle and it has caused me to look at things differently. I now am more confident in myself because I just want to play so bad before my ankle injury I would be very hard on myself when I made mistakes but now I just want to go and try everything.

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

I am going to be apart of national honor society which is where you have to participate in a certain amount of community service. I have also received awards for having a high GPA of 4.0.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I have developed teamwork a lot in this past year because the incoming freshman got assigned to my goal and I would help them develop there shot. I also helped them learn all of the warm up drills we do at our goals.

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

My biggest challenges I have faced are my broken ankle and being so hard on myself. Having a broken ankle has been very hard for me because I have not been able to run, walk, or play basketball for almost 2 months now. How hard I am on myself is also one of my biggest challenges because it causes me to doubt myself because I would be to scared to try something new.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am interested in a college that feels like a community. I want to feel welcomed and encouraged at my college. For the basketball program I want to feel uplifted and wants me to be the best player I can be.
