Who are your role models in your sport or life, and how have they influenced you? 

"My dad is my biggest role model, and also my biggest sponsor in basketball. I am so thankful for his relentless support and encouragement in everything I do." 

How do you balance sports with other responsibilities like school or work?

"It's not always easy and often requires compromises. However, it's so important to stay on top of your schoolwork and get help if needed. Always make sure to communicate with coaches, parents, and employers. In my own experience, communication has always been key, and the most important influence in balancing a busy schedule!"

Do you have any funny pre-game rituals or superstitions that you stick to?

"I always pray before each game." 

If you were to participate in a talent show unrelated to your sport, what would your act be?

"I'm pretty good at juggling, or I would play something on my euphonium."
