WELCOME TO MY NIL & MORE PROFILE

I’ve been described as dynamic and relentless on both ends of the court, and have been recognized as a key contributor to Virginia Academy's basketball team. As a guard, I excel at pushing the pace, making smart decisions under pressure, and locking down opponents with tenacious defense. With a strong basketball IQ, quick first step, and a deadly outside shot, I’m a versatile threat who can score, facilitate, and lead my team to victory.

Off the court, I am known for my strong work ethic, leadership skills, and a commitment to improving every day. I’m also an advocate for teamwork and believe in the importance of building chemistry to achieve team success.

This year, I intend to continue improving my skills, and look forward to taking my game to the next level, which makes me excited about the opportunities ahead in high school basketball and beyond.
