Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Crazy athletic, speedy on defense making lots of steals and deflections. Leadership mentality that is not overbearing. Vertical is outstanding for my age and size. I have been told I play like a boy, but I'm all GIRL! Playmaking is also a specialty of mine, being able to read the court at a moment's notice. I also got range from all 3 areas (to the rim, mid-range & 3-point)

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

I have a strong IQ when it comes to the game of basketball. As for personality, I'm energetic on the court and around my teammates being able to be the glue that holds my teams together. I often known as the miss congeniality of my teams. I don't just rely on my God given abilities in this sport. I am a student of the game. Always working to learn more and excel my game. I'm KIND & RESPECTFUL

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

*2025 CITIZENSHIP AWARD @WEBB SCHOOL *2022-23 Youth Leadership Institute *2018-Present I service the fireman and women during the holidays (make cookies and thank you for your service cards) *2022-Present Peer Mentor

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

After several years of being in the game, my leadership has grown exponentially. I have learned the qualities of a good leader means patience, understanding, care, attitude and hard work. Community service has definitely taught me to continue to be humble and thankful for what I have. Teamwork is always understanding I can't do this alone.

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

1. Not being able to live with my mom really impacted me. Despite the distance, her sacrifice taught me the value of hard work and resilience. 2. Even though I was the top performer of the team as the co-captain 6th grade year & captain my 7th, I was overlooked for the All-Tournament & All-City Awards due to the coach's philosophy of giving these awards to 8th graders only.

What type of college are you looking for?

My ideal college environment would be one where the staff really care about the well-being and success of their students/athletes. It would also be nice to find a college that celebrates both men & women's sports equally.
