Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am the workhorse of our team, known for doing all the dirty work. My game is built on relentless hustle, tenacious defense, and dominating the boards. I take pride in running the floor to secure easy transition baskets and battling down low to earn my points. My offensive includes a reliable mid-range jumper, and I excel in executing the screen-and-roll to create scoring opportunities.

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

I am a focused and determined individual, driven by hard work and a competitive spirit. While I bring intensity and dedication to everything I do, my personality also shines through as loving, funny, and caring. I strike a balance between being serious and committed when it matters, and approachable and supportive with those around me.

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

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

As I enter my junior year, I am dedicating this summer to becoming more vocal and developing into the leader our team needs for success. In addition to my personal growth, I actively contribute to our school's youth programs, helping young kids improve their game and their love for basketball.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for the best fit for my college basketball journey. The division doesn't matter to me; what matters most is finding a program that aligns with my goals and offers the major I'm pursuing.
