Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My basketball play style is all about leading the team, creating good shots, and making smart passes. I move well without the ball, always hustle, and try to make the right play instead of forcing things. I also focus on being a good teammate and helping the team win. My basketball IQ makes me reliable in clutch situations.

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

I have a big desire to win and I want to see my teammates do well too. I’m really dedicated to the game and always work hard to outperform everyone else. My mindset is all about getting better every day, pushing myself to be the best player I can be on the court.

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

I am an ambassador for Newman Catholic High School and partake in countless leadership/volunteer groups. I have received many High School Scholarships due to my hard work and dedication.

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

I have developed important skills and qualities like leadership, teamwork, and reliability. I know how to work well with others and support my team in any situation. I’m someone people can trust and count on, whether it's on the court, in the classroom, or in the community. I also value being responsible and always try to do my part to help others and make a positive impact.

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

In the first game of football my Junior Year, I dislocated my ankle causing me to miss the rest of the football season and the early portion of basketball. It was not only hard to overcome physically, but mentally as well. I pushed myself everyday with physical therapy, intense training, and psychological exercises to come back even stronger.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking to play basketball at a smaller college where I can contribute to a team on and off the court. I am looking to get pushed to reach my full potential as a basketball player while also learning and maturing in life skills as well.
