Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a smart, efficient scorer who thrives off the catch and can shift defenders to create shots in the midrange or in the paint. I use my quick first step to beat defenders and force help, which opens up opportunities for my teammates. I play with control, pace, and purpose always trying to make the right play.

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

I’m locked in, competitive, and always trying to improve. I study the game, stay calm under pressure, and trust my work. I don’t chase highlights, I focus on being consistent, efficient, and hard to guard. Every time I step on the floor, I try to make a real impact.

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

School Basketball 9th Grade Participation Award, School Basketball 10th Grade Participation Award, 8th Grade AAU MVP Award

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

I’ve learned how to communicate and lead by example. Whether it’s spacing the floor or making the extra pass when I draw help, I understand how to play team basketball. I take pride in showing up early, working hard, and staying locked in to help everyone around me get better.

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

There have been times I felt overlooked or doubted, especially when my role wasn’t clear or my minutes were limited. Instead of letting it get to me, I used it as motivation to sharpen my skills, especially my shot creation and off-ball movement and stay mentally ready for any opportunity.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for colleges with a strong basketball culture, a competitive program, and coaches who believe in developing players on and off the court. I want to be in an environment that challenges me, values hard work, and gives me a chance to grow as both a player and a person.
