Basketball has been a passion of mine since I was young, starting with a foam basketball my aunt gave me and growing as my family encouraged me to pursue the sport. My mother and aunt always supported my love for the game, and I’m grateful for their role in shaping my journey. My uncle initially encouraged soccer, but seeing my dedication, he became one of my biggest supporters, getting me the gear I needed to improve. This journey has taught me resilience, discipline, and the importance of family support. Basketball isn't just a sport to me; it's part of who I am and how I connect with my loved ones.
On the court, I’ve learned that I’m driven by a desire to constantly improve, both physically and mentally. Every setback whether it’s a tough loss or a bad practice—has motivated me to work harder and come back stronger. As a junior at Miami Union, a school not known for its sports programs, I’ve had to push myself even harder to reach my basketball goals. Playing as a shooting guard, I’ve found my strength in getting to my spot and excelling in catch-and-shoot situations. My goal is to secure a college offer that allows me to develop as both an athlete and a student. I know that my work ethic and the lessons I’ve learned will help me not just compete but also contribute positively to any team I’m a part of.
