As a practicing academic-athlete, I put academics before my athletic feats. I strive to keep a 3.8 or higher GPA in school, but also put hours of practice in for basketball, which includes weight training and conditioning. I would like to advance my field of study and earn my master's in communications. I am open to constructive criticism, seek mutual respect with peers and coaches, and do my utmost to contribute to the team on and off the court. I consistently look for ways to volunteer in my community, church, and help others when and where I can.
