Summary
My journey started in Atlanta Georgia where i was raised for majority of my youth and teenage years. I then completed my first two years of college at Grossmont Community College in San Diego California. Once i received my Associates degree in 2018, I was fortunate enough to receive a full ride basketball scholarship to attend Hawaii Pacific University. After two years there in 2020, I completed my Bachelors of Arts degree in Communications and decided that playing professionally internationally was something that i wanted to pursue. I played and lived abroad in England from 2020-2023. While there i decided to complete my Masters degree in Cross Cultural Communication and Media from Newcastle University. I have now recently moved back home and looking forward to starting a career stateside. I am a ambitious and very detail oriented worker. Due to my previous time spent with athletics, I work extremely well with teams and set time management as a big priority in my life.
