INSPIRATIONAL PERSON OR QUOTE & WHY | 
  “Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be.”
This quote is a reminder to embrace the present, release the past, and trust the journey ahead without fear or worry.
FAVORITE MOMENT & WHY |   During the state basketball semi-finals in high school, I dove for two loose balls in the same possession. Even though the ball ended up going out on me, the entire fan section erupted in cheers. That moment lit a fire in me - it reminded me that heart and hustle matter. Their energy motivated me to keep sacrificing for my team, not just to win, but to make them proud.
FAMILY TIES |  Athletics run in my family. Both of my parents are former athletes, and my brother is currently a 3-time NCAA high jump competitor. My sister was a standout basketball player during her high school years at Kindred High School in North Dakota.   
POST COLLEGE DREAMS |  While I’m still discovering the exact path I’ll take after college, my greatest dream is to use my strengths to make a lasting, positive impact. Whether through leadership, public speaking, or inspiring others through sports, I want to help people believe in themselves and pursue their potential - with my faith guiding me every step of the way.
