Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

A high dynamic and high motor player with strong work ethic and relentless drive on both ends of the court. From skill, athleticism, and basketball IQ, this allows me to be an asset in multiple roles.

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

A warrior mentality -- driven, disciplined, and unshaken by adversity. I embrace challenges head on, using setbacks as fuel to push myself harder. I have a deep love for the game, a hunger to improve, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

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

I just started my 16Pro Puma journey with 1 Family as a freshman and I love to serve my community!

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

I lead by example through my work ethic, discipline, and commitment. I strive to always be a vocal leader. My personality is one that stays composed under pressure, keeping my team focused and energized in all situations. I strive to be a good teammate, not selfish and love to build chemistry. I'm a good game reader.

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

I'm challenged to be a good student first and an athlete second. This is hard because all I want to do is play ball but I make it my priority and embrace the challenge.
