I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, with my two older siblings and my parents. I became involved with Wheelchair Basketball at the age of six. My brother was going through rehab, recovering from a surgery in downtown Chicago. During that time of rehab, we had connected with a coach who invited us to try wheelchair basketball, and since then, I have been playing the sport I love for 12 years now. I am currently a freshman studying elementary education at the University of Alabama and playing for the women's wheelchair basketball team. While working on the court, in the weight room, and studying to get a degree, I adore traveling, gardening and picnicking, and listening to music
