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

I'm a dedicated student, recognized as a recipient of the Presidential Academic Award, consistent Honor Roll (4.0+), Scholar Athlete honors, and member of both the National Honor Society and the National Society of High School Scholars. I serve as Sports Editor of of The Lance, run a math tutoring business for middle schoolers and am an active member of the Black Student Union.

I’m a dedicated leader who values teamwork, adaptability, commitment, and clear communication. I bring the same focus and discipline to my training as I do to my academics, always striving for excellence in both.

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

During the COVID year, I sat out of competitive play while others in my class continued or reclassified. It was a tough setback, but it taught me resilience. Since then, I’ve doubled down on skill development, embraced every opportunity to grow, and committed to earning my place back through hard work, consistency, and leadership.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a university that offers strong programs in journalism, sports industry or management, and pre-law—paired with a competitive basketball program that supports both academic and athletic excellence.
