I’m from New York but I moved out to PA at an earlier time in my life going back and forth.I went to Quakertown High school for my high school journey up until my senior year then graduated from North Penn High School. I play basketball day in and day out and have dedicated the last 7 years of my life towards it. I would say Steph Curry was my biggest influence back in 2013 and is a huge reason as to why I am the player I am today. I love how much he dedicates everything to God and shows that hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.

I am currently following my basketball journey and plan to debut my rookie year this following fall in college. While doing that I managed to get an academic scholarship and deans list twice which was something I’ve always wanted to do. Somebody who really inspired me and pushed me to be the best version of myself is one of my best friends and family Devon Carter. He showed me how to be a leader on and off the court and that you can apply yourself completely in all aspects of life and not just basketball. I got to accomplish my academic goals while having a great role model in front of me leading the way as he recently got his PhD this past spring.

I plan to be playing professionally in the future whether its in the league or overseas. I also wanna start up a clothing brand and I’m really interested in housing decor. Of course in the midst of this I would like to get my degree.
