Prior to UST: In high school, I graduated with Summa Cum Laude, and received various student awards. I played six years with the Minnesota Fury for AAU. At Lakeville South, I was captain my senior year. I also was a four year letter winner and received the Academic All-State Award
Family: My parents are Lance and Libby. My dad played football at the U of M. My sister played basketball at UST and graduated in May 2018. I also have a brother named Mitch who is a senior at UST, and a little sister named Emy who is in eighth grade.
Why I chose UST: I chose UST because I wanted a school that was dedicated to its academics, as well as sports, and is close to home. I had the opportunity to watch my sister and her journey at UST for the past four years and I knew it was something I wanted to experience as well. I love how connected everyone is here and how everyone pushes each other to be their best self. I am looking forward to working with great people who not only care about the game, but you as a person.
Who inspires you or is a role model for you: One of my role models is my sister Maddie. She is not only a great basketball player, but she is an even better person. Maddie has helped me with so much, whether it has been with school or pushing me to get better in sports. She is such a great person to be around and I hope to follow in her footsteps at UST.
Favorite sports memory: My favorite memory was when I was in 7th grade and I hit 7 3's in a game!
Favorite Athlete: Jimmy Butler
What is on your pre-game playlist: Beyoncé
What is on the top of your bucket list: I hope to someday go back to Hawaii to go shark cage diving. When I was in third grade, my family went and while I was on the boat, I refused to get in the cage. I hope to go back and redeem myself.
What is something fun or interesting you did this summer: I went to Washington D.C. with my family! I love history so it was a perfect place to go!
