My Story
I was born in Syracuse, NY and lived there for 8 years before moving to Hilton Head Island, SC. Growing up, I played multiple sports, including baseball, football, and basketball. Participating in sports has taught me the fundamental values that I try to live by, which are: hard work, discipline, dedication, and sacrifice.
During my sophomore year of high school, I decided to turn my main focus to basketball and give up playing football and baseball. It was a huge sacrifice, but doing so gave me the opportunity to put in the extra time to improve my basketball skill set. I have spent countless hours in the gym with various trainers and my dad, working on various skills such as ball handling, shooting, agility, and strength training. Although it was a big commitment, I have enjoyed every moment of it because I get to work on and play the sport I love most.
*Update: I re-joined the football team this past season to play alongside my younger brother one more time!
My dad has been the most influential person in my basketball journey. He has always been there for me since the first time I picked up a ball. I appreciate the time and commitment he has made coaching me, rebounding for me when I am doing workouts, or traveling with me to basketball tournaments every weekend during my AAU seasons.
My dream is to play basketball at the college level. I am looking forward to pushing my body and mind to new limits and developing my game to my highest potential. At a minimum, it will allow me the opportunity to play the sport I love for an additional four years.
