Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I would describe my play style as fast paced and aggressive looking to capitalize on advantages.

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

I am a very hardworking individual on and off the court I want to do my best at everything. I find that I am very determined once I set my mind on something.

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

I am involved in other clubs such as the Black Students Association and Holy Trinity, however I haven't received any non-sport awards.

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

Through my time playing sports I have developed a sense of community where I bring an uplifting presence to the gym and push others and myself to do our best and grow as a team.

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

I have struggled with losing one of my close friends. His death brought me into a deep depression and very dark mental space where it was hard to continue going on in life and where everything felt grim. Every aspect of life was difficult from eating to even smiling. His untimely passing had sent me spiraling but eventually I got back on track and realized I have to take every opportunity I get.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college with a strong sense of community, where the people are very caring. As well having a strong sports team with a focus on academics is a priority. I feel that a college with a strong identity that students are excited and encouraged to engage in is crucial for a school I would want to be at, as well as having resources available to get internships and post graduate work.
