Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I would describe my gameplay style as aggressive and dynamic. I thrive on driving to the basket with confidence and speed, making me a constant threat on offense. My agility allows me to outmaneuver defenders, and my shooting accuracy makes me a reliable scorer from any range. I'm always looking for opportunities to push the pace and create scoring chances for my team.

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

My mentality is a blend of kindness, competitiveness, and a strong work ethic. I am dedicated to earning and working for what I want, always striving to improve and achieve my goals. My competitive nature drives me to excel, but I also value teamwork and supporting others, fostering a positive and collaborative environment both on and off the court.

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

I am involved as the Vice President of Ambassadors Club, an intern in dance marathon, and a member of HOSA. As for rewards, I have received the Westfield Youth Assistance Program Award by the Mayor at the time: J. Andrew Cook.

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

In basketball, I've developed strong leadership and teamwork skills. I motivate and guide my teammates, always prioritizing collective success. With empathy, I understand and support my teammates, while my passion for the game drives me to continuously improve and dedicate myself fully to the sport.

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

My mom passed away from cancer, which has been a profoundly challenging experience for me. Her strength and courage during her battle with the illness have deeply influenced my outlook on life.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college that offers a strong program in nursing/medicine, has a supportive community, and provides opportunities for growth both academically, on the court, and personally. A campus with a vibrant student life and opportunities to engage in extracurricular activities would be ideal.
