I'd describe my style as a smart, team-first player who thrives on making the right play. I focus on knocking down open threes, setting up my teammates with sharp passes, and staying calm and composed no matter the situation. I try to keep the game under control and make plays that help us win.

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

I'm super competitive and always want to win, but I also make sure to have fun and enjoy the game with my teammates. I'm dedicated, hard-working, and always looking to get better every day. I love the game and bring energy and focus whether it's practice or game time.

I always want to keep growing as a player and a person, so I stay committed and push myself to improve in everything I do.

I'm looking for a college with a strong basketball tradition where I can contribute and make an impact. I want to be part of a program that values hard work and team culture. It's also important to me to have a coach who supports their players both on and off the court-someone who helps develop us not just as athletes, but as people too.
