It's also been a true blessing to be able to play for the Starks program under great college coaches. They have taught me other aspects of basketball that have helped improve my game.

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

My 8th grade year I was asked to step up to a varsity starting role. Although intimidating, I was able to prove to myself that I could handle the pressure. It was also a great opportunity to learn and play with my talented older teammates. Such as Sage Ganyo, Jordan Zubich, and Hali Savela.
