About Valerie

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

As a 5'7" shooting guard and small forward, I focus on versatility. I excel at shooting from the perimeter, driving to the basket, and creating scoring opportunities. My defence is solid, often guarding multiple positions, and I use my agility and speed to be effective on both ends of the court."

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

I am determined and competitive, always looking to improve and push myself in sports and personal growth. I value teamwork and enjoy challenges, whether in the game or in life. I also have a resilient attitude, learning from mistakes and focusing on getting better. I like to reflect discipline from my training, combined with a fun and energetic approach.

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

I'm part of a basketball club, TEAMS Sharp and RP Scarlets, and practice regularly with my team. We work on improving our skills, learning new strategies, and playing in games or tournaments. Being in the club helps me stay dedicated to the sport, build teamwork, and stay fit. It's also a great way to meet other people who love basketball as much as I do, and I enjoy the competition and challenge.

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

I help out in my community's recreation sports program by assisting with organizing games, setting up equipment, and sometimes helping younger kids practice their skills. It gives me a chance to give back to the community, learn leadership skills, and stay active in a sport I love. I enjoy participating in it because it helps build a positive and fun environment for everyone involved."

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

So far, I haven’t faced any major challenges, but I understand that obstacles are a part of life and sports. When challenges do come, I’ll need to stay focused, work hard, and be open to learning from the experience.

What type of college are you looking for?

A college’s culture, location, and environment fit my personal and academic life well. Also, I'm looking for a college that meets my educational needs and has vital programs in areas I'm interested in studying. I want a school that also meets my academic needs, with essential programs in areas where I'm interested in learning and competitive women’s basketball teams
