I lead youth basketball camp small groups. In my EMT program, I routinely lead first responder small groups during mock scenarios. As point guard, my communication and direction of teammates on the court helps create opportunities to score. I have many service hours including medic tent work, Fridley Fire and ambulance ride alongs.

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

I had two stress fractures back in 6th grade and from that I learned patience with the healing process, consistency of sticking to physical therapy and hard work to regain my strength and skills. I’ve kept up my dedication to keeping my body strong in the ways that help prevent future injury and worked on my mental toughness to not get psyched out when facing tough opponents.

What type of college are you looking for?

I would like to go to a college that has strong academics in health sciences located in the Midwest. I’m not opposed to any size of college, I’ll just know when I tour it, and meet with coaches and the existing team if it’s a good fit for me.
