Personal Statement

I'm so excited to be starting my SENIOR SEASON! As a captain, I will be a leader both on and off the court. We have made it to State 2 of my 3 years and I am hoping to help lead our team to a league title and back to the state championships!

I finished a very successful 17s club season with my team, winning the Silver bracket of the Freedom division (9th/48 teams) at GJNC. I am looking forward to my last club season with Front Range 18 Black.

I am in National Honor Society with a 4.2 GPA. I am looking for a school that will challenge me as a person (academically) and as a player (athletically).  The challenges I faced with remote/hybrid learning for 2+ years have definitely prepared me for anything that college might throw my way. I would like to study nursing, pre-law, or forensic science. 

I understand what it takes to be an exceptional student-athlete. I will do whatever is required to improve my skills and help my team succeed, while succeeding in the classroom too. I am a leader, a fierce competitor, and value my teammates as family. I would be an excellent addition to your team!
