Basketball is more than just a game to me. It is an overwhelming part of my identity. It is where I feel most alive and in the moment. I have had a strong passion for the sport since I first picked up a basketball. It began by learning to dribble, shooting hoops in the driveway, and then transitioning to playing on different teams. Playing in college has been a strong desire of mine for several years. This desire has pushed and motivated me to put in extra hours, spend time learning and understanding the game, setting goals for myself, and working on developing myself into a well-rounded player, teammate, and leader. My commitment to be the best player that I can be, is what drives me every day. Playing basketball in college is a privilege and I have been working hard on being the best I can be on the court and in the classroom.
