Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I'm a 6'0" point guard that has good court vision, quick decision making, and ability to control the pace of the game. I take pride in being a floor general setting up my teammates, knocking down open shots, and locking in defensively. My game is built on high basketball IQ, leadership, and relentless work ethic. I play with intensity and composure every time I step on the court.

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

As a point guard, I've developed strong leadership skills by taking charge on the court, communicating with teammates, and staying composed in high-pressure situations. I pride myself on being a team-first player who understands the value of unselfish play and building chemistry. My work ethic and discipline have helped me balance school, training, and competition, while focused on imporvment.

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

One of the biggest challenges I've faced is playing on a team that didn't always see a lot of wins. It taught me how to stay focused, lead through adversity, and bring energy even when things weren't going our way. I learned how to control what I could-my attitude, effort, and leadership-while helping my teammates stay locked in and keep improving.

What type of college are you looking for?

Looking for a college with a competitive basketball program where I can make an impact as a point guard and continue developing my game. I'm drawn to smaller or mid-sized schools-NAIA or NCAA DII/DIII that value high basketball IQ, leadership. and team first players. I want to play in a system that gives guards freedom to fun offense and lead on both ends of the floor.
