My passion for basketball started at the young age of seven. That passion continued throughout middle and high school until I ultimately received an athletic scholarship to play NCAA D1 basketball at Texas State University.

At Texas State I was awarded with Texas State Cream of the Crop Recipient, NABC Honors Court, and a Texas State Academic Achievement Recipient.
