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

I have had 2 minor injuries to play through over the last few years. It helped me develop to come back stronger. I love the game & never had thoughts to quit. Three varsity coaches entering my 4th year has brought challenges to the program and talent, plus different coaching styles. I have learned to adapt quickly and own my growth and focus on what outcomes I can control.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college experience that values development of the player and person. I value a solid team unit where players can have relationships on and off the court. I also would like to continue supporting player mental health and whole-person clubs like FCA.
