Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Fast paced athlete, getting down the court for open shots. Big and tall blocker on defense and always going after any rebound.

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

Good team player trying to get teammates open and myself. Always moving on the court to make my defense keep up. Hopeful and positive player always pushing till the end to finish or win.

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

I’m currently in my 7th year of 4-H, where I show cattle and swine. I’m also in rifle club where I participate in competition shooting. I was back to back Greene County born and bred champion for cattle.

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

Patience, better communication, problem solving, focusing on the positive things, and mental strength.

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

Broke my arm mid sports season and had to have several surgeries over several months time. I had to learn how to be productive with my time and become a different kind of support system my teammates needed. I used this time to mentally grow as a athlete and push myself into new roles that I never saw myself doing.
