MY DREAM IS TO TAKE MY LOVE OF BASKETBALL TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
Basketball is my escape, my place to go, and my home when all else fails.
From learning to dribble and shoot as a five year old with my dad in our drive way, playing AAU since the 4th grade and interscholastically since 7th, I discovered and developed an everlasting passion for the game. Never would I take back all the tears shed and pain felt from the game over the past years because basketball has taught me discipline and determination, everything I need to succeed in life, college and my career.
I’m always wanting to improve and be the best player on the court. I push my teammates every day in practice and with my peripheral vision I know where they are on the court to give them the best possible shot or assist.
Along with being a team player, I fully understand my job as an individual -I help my team defensively with blocks, steals and rebounds. Offensively, I’m very versatile, I execute plays and get to the rim. Physically, I’ve been blessed with a 6 foot wing span, 20 inch vertical and 5’10 frame. I’m ambidextrous while on the court, quick on my feet and a smart player.
I excel the most with my quick moves to the hoop and left handed finishes. I’m immensely competitive and I won’t stop until the final buzzer goes off. If you’re looking for an all-around player who understands the game then I am the perfect player fit.
