One of the hardest moments in my life was taking a risk that ultimately worked out for me. I made the decision to transfer during my senior year to help my mom and enhance my chances of getting recruited.

This move allowed me to pursue better opportunities and ultimately led me to where I am today

Breaking my finger earlier this season. It was tough mentally and physically, especially with how much I wanted to contribute on the field. It taught me resilience and adaptability.

If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house, what would it be?

Chipotle. It is fresh, and I can always find something that fits my meal prep needs.

What is your biggest weakness?

I can be overly critical of myself. I set high standards, which pushes me, but I sometimes need to remind myself to focus on the progress as well as the goals.
