Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

On offense I am a taller pass first guard who sees the floor well and isn’t afraid to pull up and shoot a 3. On defense I am an energetic person who can guard 1-5 and can find players weaknesses.

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

I hold my teammates accountable because I want my team to find success. I could care less about my individual accomplishments as long as my team is all working together as one and finds the best shot.

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

I am apart of the journalism club at my school and have volunteered at my church a number of times. I was apart of the middle school honor roll and got the Presidential Academic Award for my achievements in English class.

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

I have gained a number of positive qualities from the Bible. I base my life and morals off of what I learn from the lord. I believe I am a unselfish caring person who isn’t afraid to step up and be a leader on and off the basketball court.

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

Throughout my middle school career I went through having appendicitis, hand surgery, strep throat, and many more battles during my basketball season, but I fought through them and kept a positive mindset. I still ended up making the top team in 7th and 8th grade.

What type of college are you looking for?

I want a college that will 1; make me a better basketball player and 2; help me find a career in the future as I would like to be a journalist someday. I would also aspire to be a dual sport athlete in college with track and basketball.
