I have lived all over the country. I was born in Chicago, IL. moved to Columbus, OH. when I was 3. When I was 10 we moved to Phoenix, AZ.  When I was 13 we moved to Charlotte, NC. I played high level AAU basketball in OH, AZ., and NC. I believe living & playing in all these different areas of the country have made me a more well-rounded person & player. I am definitely adaptable & resilient. I understand the meaning of hard work & dedication & never giving up. I am where I am today because I perservered & have started over many times. It wasn't always easy, but I did it & most importantly did it with success. I have had a lot of changes in my life, but one constant I have had is my love for basketball. I have loved the game for as long as I can remember. I am very passionate about it. I am constantly working to improve my game to be the best player I can be. Whether it is working on my skillset in the gym or with trainers, lifting in the gym, running, practicing with my teammates, or watching film, each day I try to get better. I have had many trainers tell me I am the most dedicated person they know. That is definitely a compliment, but my drive to be better is fueled by my pure love of the game. 
I was a multi-sport athlete until 11th grade. However, around 4th grade everything clicked for me and I decided I wanted to play college basketball. It was then that I focused & dedicated a lot of extra time to improving my game. I am trying to pursue that dream by competing with the people around me and constantly trying to do things to get better.
