Basketball is my passion. I play basketball year around. I’ve played varsity basketball since the 8^th grade. I play AAU for the Mississippi Jazz, which plays in the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit/Insider Exposure League.

In 2024, we were MAIS 5A State Runner-Up. I played SS, 2^nd, 3^rd and OF, and I finished the season with the third highest batting average on the team. I was selected 1^st Team All District, MAIS Futures Team, and Team Defensive MVP. I currently have softball scholarship offers from Hinds Community College and Southwest Mississippi Community College.
