Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I have an all-around gameplay style. Offensively, I am often positioned near the basket to take advantage of my height, but I am also positioned on the wing. I also set screens to help teammates get open shots. Defensively, I protect the rim by blocking or altering opponents' shots. I am a key rebounder due to my size and positioning.

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

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

I am a leader on and off the court and it comes with a lot of significant challenges. With that being said, as a student athlete and an academic scholar I have to stay strong minded and strong willed so l am able to reach my goals.
