She loves the energy of the game—the fast pace, the teamwork, and the feeling when the ball goes through the net. Basketball gives her confidence and discipline not just on the court but also off the court.
I’m inspired by my parents for always pushing me to be my best and stay humble. On the court, I look up to A’ja Wilson—she plays with heart, leads her team, and shows young girls like me that anything is possible with hard work
What makes me proudest is her dedication, heart, and humility. She trains hard, lifts up her teammates, and competes with passion—but never forgets to show respect, lead with character, and love the game every step of the way
