Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Stretch big, can guard all 5 positions, high game iq, great court vision, defensive presence.

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

I am always locked in on the main thing, which is getting better. When I find myself struggling mentally, I often go to my coach or parents for advice and try to gather my thoughts together. I make sure I control what I can control and learn to not worry about what I can't control.

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

I am a part of a youth group called XInos and Kudos. We do lots of community service and character workshops. I was honored to receive a second-place trophy in an essay competition out of 35 groups in Xinos and Kudos. Also with Xinos and Kudos, I won first place in a public speaking competition.

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

I learned to always maintain a level head even when others around me aren't. Think through situations before I act and always find where I can learn something. On a team as a leader, you must know everyone's strengths and where each person can benefit the team the most.

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

When I was young, my parents got a divorce, and it affected me hard. I was misbehaving in school, acting out, and doing things for attention. Over the years however I matured and realized that it happened for a reason, it's no one's fault and I am just happy at the place my family is at now.
