Personal Statement

When I was three years old, I started what was called "bitty basketball."  It was my first experience learning the basics of basketball, and I was hooked.  From there, I went on to play at the YMCA, my local feeder program, and then progressed to travel.  As a Freshman, I was able to play on the Varsity team and loved every second on the court.  This year as a sophomore, I got the opportunity to be a starter on varsity and was able to reach the goals I set for myself this year. Since those days of "bitty ball," I have aspired to play at the collegiate level.  

I have good ball-handling skills, I create plays that give others, and myself, the opportunity to score, I'm aggressive on defense, and have amazing court awareness.  I strive to be a team leader and aim to make a positive difference for my teammates while motivating and uplifting them both on and off the court.  I am a very coachable athlete who is hard-working, driven, and determined to continue to up my game.  Off the court, I work hard in the classroom and keep a high GPA.

I would love to go to a college where I am able to challenge myself academically, as well as on the court.  I am open to all possibilities and am excited to find the college that best matches my academics while competing at the highest level of competitiveness.  Till then, I will strive to excel in the classroom and on the court while remaining a positive role model.
