Personal Statement

People who know me will say I am an extremely serious competitor and a leader on the court.  I am the oldest of ten children in my family, passionate about basketball, track & field, reading, and have been involved in athletics for as long as I can remember.

I am most proud of my remarkable achievements, which include currently ranked among the 3-4 top guards in my class and state of Georgia.  I am a 2x Region player of the year, with 1462 points, 348 assists and 296 steals.   I’ve helped lead our team to a 55-6 record in 2 seasons finishing in Elite 8 and Final Four vs Westlake.

I also have earned multiple medals and MVP awards for basketball and track, lacrosse, training awards, and breaking school records, in addition to earning a National silver medal at USATF for Pentathalon.

In addition to my sports, I participate in the LIFE youth club at my church, peer mentor, babysitter, and assist as an apprentice basketball and track coach.

My athletic ability and unique experiences, coupled with my notable academics and strong work ethic, will allow me to be an excellent member of any collegiate team.
