Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’d describe my gameplay style as versatile and composed. As a combo guard, I can control the tempo, create plays for my teammates, and also step up to score when my team needs it. I stay poised under pressure, play both ends of the floor, and take pride in making smart decisions whether I’m running the offense or finishing at the rim.

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

I’m competitive, focused, and coachable. I’m always looking to improve and do what’s best for the team. I bring energy, stay composed in tough moments, and I lead by example on and off the court.

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

I was a member of the National Junior Honor Society and I’m actively involved in my church community. Both experiences have helped shape my discipline, leadership, and commitment to serving others.

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

Through basketball, school, and community involvement, I’ve developed leadership, teamwork, and resilience. I’ve learned how to step up when my team needs me, communicate effectively, and stay locked in under pressure. Being part of NJHS and active in my church has also taught me the importance of service and staying connected to something bigger than myself

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

I haven’t faced a major challenge, but I’ve grown through everyday adversity—staying consistent, working hard, and staying focused when things get tough.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that challenges me both academically and athletically. I want to be part of a competitive basketball program with a strong team culture and coaches who will push me to grow. I also value a supportive campus community and academic programs that will set me up for success after basketball.
