Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

A Point guard, who like to have the ball in my hands and run the offense. Two-way player that works just as hard on Defense as Offense. A great rebounding gaurd. I consider myself a high IQ Basketball player, undertanding the importance of not turning the ball over.

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

I have always played basketball with older girls. In looking back, that has helped me develop a strong mental toughness. I like big games and I like big shots. Going up against larger/ bigger players doesn't intimidate me. I know my hard work in training and practice has me ready to play with anybody.

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

I am involved in our school's leadership club.

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

Besides my actual basketball skills. Being on sports teams has taught me the importance of hard work, not just for myself. But also making sure to be there for my teammates on and off the court. Growing up in a small town, it is great to see the gym packed on Friday nights. This sense of community support has also led me to be an active member in my local community.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for the right fit for college. I'm from a rural area with a smaller school system. I have liked that growing up, right now I'm leaning towards a smaller college.
