Growing up I competed in almost every sport and competed at the club level in basketball, volleyball, soccer, cross country and track & field. From early on, though, my dream was to compete in basketball at the highest level in college. I currently play high school basketball for Nazareth Academy where I’ve been on the varsity team since my freshman year. That year, we made it all the way to the Illinois 4A state championship game and finished second. As a sophomore during the 2024-25 season, I was named ESCC All-Conference and was voted 3rd Team All-State by the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association. I’m now in my first year with the Wolverinas and excited to be part of such a talented and competitive team.
I’m a versatile guard who can handle the ball, shoot from deep, and defend multiple positions. One of my strengths is my court vision – I love setting up teammates and making the right pass at the right time. I pride myself on being a complete guard who can run the offense, make plays, and bring intensity on both ends of the floor. Off the court, I take school just as seriously and currently maintain a 4.0 GPA achieving high honors in every semester. I’m passionate about becoming a student-athlete at the next level. When I’m not training, competing, or studying, I love spending time with my friends and family, going to the gym, cooking, and traveling.
I also post game highlights and updates on Twitter at @sat9251.
