What is the best memory of your time playing basketball?
“I would have to say beating Forest Hills Northern a few weeks ago after battling back and forth for the win.”

“My individual goals for this season are to be the best teammate I can be, as well as to gain more confidence in my playing.”

What music do you listen to to get fired up for games?
“I love a good Rio song such as “Hot Wings”, or songs my teammates and I can sing together (“Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman).”
Do you have any superstitions associated with your games?
“Yes, during the National Anthem I HAVE to count the number of stripes to ensure there are thirteen, and smile at my parents right before the song plays.”
