Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Agile and quick defender. Good distributor and good decision maker on offense.

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

I am a hard worker and good teammate. I want to see those around me succeed. I am friendly and coacheable.

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

I play soccer and enjoy many outdoor activities and spending time with my family.

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

I have been working towards silvercord recognition which means I complete 50 hours of volunteer work every year. This summer I am tutoring some boys whose families are refugees. This has helped me develop my leadership and interpersonal skills. My basketball team and coach work hard to support each other in being good teammates and in becoming strong leaders on and off the court.

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

I broke my arm a couple years ago and had to sit for my baseball and soccer seasons. This taught me the importance of not giving up and valuing the good fortune we have to be competing in sports.
