About Me

After 17 years as a student athlete, I'm excited to start my professional career and hope to find an organization that values hard work, collaboration and competitiveness where I can apply the skills my education and basketball have taught me.

I originally created this site to share Information with coaches to help with my college recruiting efforts. I wrote "My dream is to play basketball at the highest level I'm able to for as long as possible. I also want to use my basketball skills to help me get the best education possible." I've achieved both those goals and am ready for my next chapter.

For over a decade, I've strived for high performance and team excellence—first as a high school athlete, now competing as a four-year starter in NCAA Division III basketball while earning my degree in Business Management at Susquehanna University.

Basketball has taught me more than how to win games. I've learned how to fail and still find a way to succeed. It's taught me how to lead when the stakes are high, bounce back from setbacks (including three surgeries), and show up every single day with the same intensity—whether that's in a 6 AM practice, a critical exam, or managing a 22-unit motel during the summer rush.

What I bring to the table:

The discipline of balancing 30+ hours of weekly athletic commitments with maintaining a 3.5 GPA and Dean's List honors. The resilience to turn injuries into comebacks. The team-first mentality that earned me back-to-back Conference All-Sportsmanship honors—voted by both teammates and coaches. The understanding that learning beyond the classroom and training off the court are critical to continuous improvement.

But I'm not just about grit. I'm building skills to meet future needs: data analytics, AI tools, and operational management. Last summer, I oversaw daily operations for a boutique motel, managing staff, optimizing guest experiences through automation platforms, and solving problems in real-time. Before that, I maintained a 5-star rating delivering for DoorDash—proving that excellence in the details matters, no matter the arena.

Below is my Senior Day video about my basketball journey, and I'm looking forward to what's next.

Thanks for learning more about my story and hope we get the chance to connect!
