Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I'm a post player but my AAU and High School teams value that I'm quick on my feet and can handle the ball as well as other players. This means I can drive to the basket or create plays from the perimeter. Plus, I have a solid outside shot and am considered a well-rounded player.

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

I love being part of my high school basketball team. I'm always working hard to get better and improve my skills. Coaches can trust me to listen, learn, and be dependable. My goal is to do my best and help my team succeed together.

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

Besides playing basketball, I’m really involved in my school’s band and art programs. I love making music and creating art. I’m also passionate about graphic design and enjoy making digital art in my free time. Balancing sports, music, and art helps me learn and grow in different ways.

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

I’ve learned a lot from basketball, church, and band like leadership, teamwork, and helping others. My teammates and classmates trust me, and I always try to be there for them. I volunteer to help with team events and make sure things go well. I also like welcoming younger players and classmates and helping them feel part of the team

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

I faced some challenges during my early growth when I experienced Osgood-Schlatter until I turned 13. It was tough dealing with the pain and limitations, but I committed to a strict training regimen to strengthen my muscles and prevent injury. This experience taught me the importance of dedication.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college with a good basketball program that helps players improve. I want to be part of a supportive team. It’s also important that the school has a strong graphic design program. The division isn't as important to me as having a meaningful role and feeling like I’m part of something bigger.
