Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Aggressive defender with fast-paced transitions down the court.

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

I love most sports, and I am happiest when engaged in physical activity. I am very competitive sportsman and a great teammate who loves being part of a team with other likeminded athletes.

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

Academic All-District, Heart & Hustle Award

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

As co-captain of the varsity team, I am continuing to develop my peer-to-peer leadership skills. I am discovering and overcoming new challenges every week.

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

Having skipped forward a grade in school, I have always been the youngest in my class and on my team. Because of this, I have always felt like I don't 100% belong and that I need to prove myself ... I need to be the strongest, the fastest, the toughest. This makes me work exceptionally hard to control what I can control.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for two things in a college. I am looking for a college with a rigorous academic program that will prepare me for medical school, and I am looking for a college with a close-knit basketball team that has fun together and supports each other.
