Best Advice from a Coach: "My former AAU coach, Ken Fenske, has taught me always to give 100% effort, and it’s the 'little' things that matter. For example, going for every rebound, making the extra pass, and playing good defense. I appreciate Coach Fenske for always supporting and pushing me to be my best."

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "I got the opportunity to play basketball and volleyball with my older sister during my freshman year.
