With 5 years of Division I basketball experience—including 4.5 years as a starter for Wichita State and the University of Nebraska Omaha—I have a deep understanding of the mental and physical demands required to compete at the D1 level.
I was fortunate to share the court with my sister, Moriah, at both programs, where we achieved and experienced more together than any other athletes in our local area—building lasting success, conference titles, and NCAA Tournament runs
