Personal Statement

I am a 5’6”, 132-pound point guard from California, known for my tenacious defense and selfless play. I take pride in my high basketball IQ and vision of the court. Assists are just as valuable as scoring points, and I am able to control the pace of play and create opportunities on both sides of the court. I am a point guard to my core.

Prior to my junior year, I was invited to train at Israel’s National Sports Academy. I lived full-time at the Wingate Institute alongside 11 of the country’s top U18 players. We trained six days a week, with morning strength training twice a week, and competed in Division 2 of the Israeli professional league, competing against women up to 35 years old.

The highlight of my basketball journey thus far was being invited to try out for the U18 Israeli National Team. Unfortunately, an injury early in the summer prevented me from training and traveling to the FIBA European Championships in Portugal.

Prior to this experience, I was fortunate to participate in outstanding AAU programs. I played for the CA Ballaz out of Oakland in the spring before my departure for Israel. Before that, I was part of the U16 Cal Stars EYBL team, and in 8th grade, I played up on Jason Kidd’s inaugural U16 JK Select team.

During my freshman year of high school, I led my Varsity team to the California State D4 Championships at the Golden One Center in Sacramento.
