Who has been the biggest influence on your athletic journey? Why?
My mom has been the biggest influence on my athletic journey. She has always been there for me, driving me to practices, cheering me on, and pushing me to never give up. She made things happen for me even on tough days, and that keeps me motivated to work harder and keep chasing my goals.
What is your pregame routine?
I would say that my pregame routine consists of having a small snack, working out beforehand, stretching, listening to music, and saying a prayer.
Which of your teammates pushes you to be your best?
I would say Jerris Fullwood pushes me the most.
What's your favorite thing about being on this team so far?
How everything feels like a family, and how Coach Mullins pushes me to put in my best effort and give it my all.
If you weren't playing your current sport, which sport would you try?
Football.
Where would you go on your dream vacation?
I would travel to Dubai or some other amazing place outside of the nation.
What do you hope to do after Pitt?
I hope to move on to a four year institution on scholarship to play basketball and further my studies.
