Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I balance my pace well, knowing when to push the tempo or slow it down, and I focus on creating opportunities for my teammates and I communicate well on the court to ensure we're all on the same page. I also bring a lot of energy to the bench.

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

My mentality is to play till that last buzzer, I dont like giving up and if we were to lose I rather lose knowing I gave it my all. It doesnt matter to me who I'm up against, Im going to dominate and play my game and bring what my team needs from me but I would say the only difference would be how I do it.

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

I have recieved awards for academics which was a A-B Honor roll

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

Through basketball, I've developed leadership skills by guiding my teammates, being there for them, and learning how each individual is on and off the court and adjust to their understanding because as a leader you have to know your players. I've learned that being a leader is much more than just direting plays, but uplifting my teammates and helping them stay positive in tough enviroments.

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

I have toughed many challenges wether it be mentally or physially, such as confidence, my height, and handling pressure. But I found how to overome these challenges by working hard and just becoming better every single day, and reading books about mental aspects of sports.

What type of college are you looking for?

Im looking for a college that has a strong basketball program and meets my academic requirements. Its really important for me to focus on my education and graduate college, but I also want to play the game I love. I would also love a school that's close to home and has a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.
