Player Bio
How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
I'm a 6'0" center, but I play like an all-around basketball player. I make up for my size with hustle, smart positioning, and toughness. I can score inside, hit jumpers, handle the ball, and find open teammates. On defense, I rely on quickness and awareness to guard bigger players and switch onto guards. I do a bit of everything and impact the game in all areas.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I play with a chip on my shoulder and a team-first mindset. I'm competitive, gritty, and always willing to do the dirty work—whether it's diving for loose balls, taking charges, or making the extra pass. I lead by example and stay locked in, no matter the situation.
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
Yes I have received plenty of academic awards , not only for grades but also leadership positions.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
I've developed strong leadership and teamwork skills through years of playing and competing. I know how to bring people together, keep energy high, and stay focused under pressure. Off the court, I’ve also been involved in community service, helping with youth basketball clinics and volunteering locally—giving back and staying connected to the game in every way I can.
Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
Yes, being some what an undersized center has always been a challenge. I’ve often gone up against taller, stronger opponents, but it’s pushed me to work harder, play smarter, and stay tough mentally. I’ve had to prove myself constantly—earning respect through effort, resilience, and consistency. That challenge has shaped who I am as a player and a person.
What type of college are you looking for?
I'm looking for a college that values both academics and athletics—somewhere I can grow as a student and as a player. I want a competitive basketball program with a strong team culture, good coaching, and a focus on development. A supportive campus community and opportunities to make an impact, both on and off the court, are also really important to me.
