2019-20 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a 5'9" shooting guard from Plymouth, Michigan. I earned my varsity letter in basketball and track and field during my freshman year at Plymouth High School. I had a very successful freshman season and received high praise from my coaches as a 3-point shooting specialist.
Unfortunately, I was unable to compete during the 2018/19 high school basketball season because I had ACL surgery in July 2018. However, I was very successful in building my leadership role on the team during the 2018/19 season, while progressing through my rehabilitation and as a result, I was awarded the BCAM Team First Award for the 2018/19 season.
I am very excited to be back competing during the Plymouth High School 2019/20 season. I truly love the game of basketball and have earned the nickname "Gym Rat" from my teammates because I am always ready to work. I feel that I would be a good fit at a D2, D3, or NAIA school that would allow me to maintain a high academic focus, as well as make an impact on the team. I currently have a 3.93 GPA and I am planning on a career as a Physician Assistant.
