Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Coaches describe me as a fast, aggressive, strategic, physical defender that locks down players, but also can run the ball down and create offense. Coaches love how I elevate the intensity of practices and push everyone to get better. I firmly believe that preparation is the key to success, and I am dedicated to being more prepared than my opponents both physically and mentally.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am extremely competitive and a grinder. What I mean by "grinder" is that I do not shy away from hard work. I want to win every rep in practice, every contest, every game and I want my teammates to know they can lean on me when times get tough.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
