Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I like to take charge when I need to but I also want to make sure everyone is involved. I'm not afraid to drive to the basket and draw fouls. I'm confident in my free throw shooting. I'm consistently the leading scorer and rebounder on my school team. But I'm also excited when someone who doesn't get much playing time can get in the game and score a bucket.

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

I work hard on the court to stay positive. Although no one is harder on me than I am on myself. I don't like to lose or miss shots. I work to stay positive when a play doesn't go correctly. I am a team leader and my attitude impacts my entire team. I am a leader on and off the court.

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

In addition to playing basketball, I run track, cross-country, play soccer and play baseball. I am very active in FFA , serve as Vice-President of my 4-H club, a member of Miami County Junior Leaders and a mentor to mini-4Hers. I am in National Junior Honor Society, serving as Treasurer. I am also a member of FCA.

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

Community service is very important to me. As part of my FFA activities, I manage a food pantry donation program, where I have raised nearly $60,000 for my local food pantry. I have been involved in 4-H leadership training and mentor younger members.
