Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I'm a high-IQ, team-first player who thrives on making others better. I bring elite court vision, knock down spot-up shots consistently, and pride myself on playing relentless, in-your-face defense. I do the dirty work, stay composed under pressure, and elevate my team on both ends of the floor.

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

I’m competitive, unselfish, and obsessed with doing the little things that help a team win. I bring energy, discipline, and focus every day—whether it’s practice or game time. I lead by example, stay coachable, and never back down from a challenge.

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

Over the years, I’ve developed strong leadership skills both on and off the court. I know how to communicate effectively, keep teammates motivated, and lead by example—especially when the pressure is on. I’ve also learned the value of teamwork: trusting others, embracing my role, and doing whatever it takes to help the group succeed. Outside of basketball, I’ve been involved in community service.

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

Nothing has ever come easy, but I’ve learned to embrace hard work and stay

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that challenges me both academically and athletically. I want a program where I can grow as a player and as a person—somewhere that values team culture, player development, and strong leadership. I’m also looking for a coaching staff that believes in discipline, accountability, and helping athletes reach their full potential, on and off the court.
