PERSONAL STATEMENT
Basketball has played a huge roll in my life and personal development. When I first started playing the game I've always had the goal of playing at the next level and I've worked tirelessly to try and obtain that. Basketball has always been an escape for me and provides me with a good balance towards my academic career. I'm ecstatic in trying to further my career in both basketball and academics.

PERSONAL INFORMATION		  
Describe Your Playing Style?: I am a two way player who loves to get after it on both ends of the floor. I am capable of creating my own shot and making spot up 3's and mid range jumpers. I love to get my teammates involved by putting them in the best position to score. I believe the best offense is having a great defense and that is what I strive to do while I'm on the court. I love to pride myself in giving it 100% all the time while I'm on the court.

Favorite Athlete(s) and why?: My two favorite athletes are Stephen Curry and Allen Iverson. I adore Stephen Curry mostly because of how many obstacles he had to overcome to get to being one of the best players in the NBA. He only had 3 D1 offers to play basketball wheres most NBA prospects have 20+ but that didn't deter his goal of playing in the NBA. Allen Iverson is my other favorite player because of his killer instinct on the court. He played with a lot of tenacity on both ends of the floor even though he was undersized. One of my favorite videos to watch of his was when he hit a 3 against the Lakers in the finals and once he made it he stepped over the defender that had fallen in front of him, Tyronn Lue.
Other activites and interests: Other than playing basketball, I love to spend time with my family and friends, take my dogs to the dog park, play video games, go on hikes, and relax.
Who's been the biggest influence on my sports career and why?: The person who has had the greatest influence on my sports career is my Mom. She's been with me 100% of the way and has always believed in me. She also plays the role of being my motivator and always keeps me on the right track. She's made a ton of sacrifices for me and I will always be grateful towards her.
About Me: I am a very generous and hard working person. I love to have fun and give back to others. I love being competitive and I want to win at everything I do. My hard working nature comes from wanting to make the best version of myself and seeing how far it's gotten me it motivates me even more to work harder.
