Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Use my size and strength to establish deep post position, seal defenders, and finish through contact with hooks, drop steps, or up-and-unders. I frequently sets hard screens in pick-and-roll situations, often rolling hard to the rim or popping out if developing a mid-range shot. Always active on the glass, creating second-chance points.

Servant Leadership: Lead by example and put the team’s needs above personal glory. I understand that leadership is about lifting others up. Growth-Oriented: I see challenges as opportunities to grow — academically, athletically, and personally. Disciplined and Focused: Manage my time effectively, stay committed to goals, and balance multiple responsibilities without sacrificing quality.

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

An ankle injury my sophomore year not only caused considerable pain and limited mobility, but it also forced me to miss half of the basketball season. This tested my resilience. It taught me patience, discipline during rehab, and gave me a deeper appreciation for the game. The time away fueled my motivation to come back stronger and more determined than ever.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college that offers a strong engineering and/or environmental sciences program, a supportive and vibrant campus community and competitive athletic programs. I want an environment where I can challenge myself academically, stay active in sports, and feel connected both socially and personally.
