Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am able to adapt to a game where I can create for my teammates or create and help my team be successful. My strength is shooting as I am rated one of the top shooters in WI. While PG may not be my top position I am often relied upon to handle the ball as I am very reliable and capable. This was my primary position from youth until 9th grade.

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

Very level headed and focused. Focused on helping my team to win and my teammates be successful.

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

I am involved in our local church, help our youth basketball camps and I work at our local Rec Center which is focused on youth athletics.

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

I have always been a leader on my teams(football/basketball/baseball) and looked up to by my teammates for leadership.

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

I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 8 years old. It is a challenge to manage blood sugar levels and athletics but I have taken on this challenge and succeeded. I don't use it as an excuse but I use it as motivation.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college where I can contribute and be successful as a team. While I would like to succeed personally, my main goal is to help my team be successful and can accept any role that helps us achieve our team goal.
