Born and raised in Houston, Texas, I grew up surrounded by the love and support of my mom, stepdad, twin brothers, and the rest of my family. Their encouragement has shaped me into the person and player I am today. I started playing basketball in 7th grade, not knowing how far the game would take me. By high school, I earned a spot on varsity as a freshman and received multiple accolades — including reaching my 1,000-point milestone. Every step has been part of a unique journey, one that’s taught me to trust my path and live life to the fullest. Now, I’m blessed with the opportunity to play college basketball while continuing my education. I’m on track to earn both my associate’s and bachelor’s degrees, with plans to become an architect and pursue a professional basketball career overseas. I’ve always been here — just slowly blooming.
