A Little Bit About Me

I’m a dedicated student-athlete at Oregon Tech, where I balance my passion for basketball with my commitment to academics. Music is a big part of my life, I love listening to everything from '90s rock to new school rap. Being an Oregon Tech Owl means more than just attending classes; it’s about embracing a community that supports growth, ambition, and success. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had here and excited for what’s ahead.

Why I Chose Oregon Tech and My Major

I chose Oregon Tech for its balance of basketball, small class sizes, and hands-on business education. Playing basketball at the collegiate level is what I have wanted to do since I was little, while the academic environment allows for deeper learning and collaboration due to its small class sizes.

My Greatest Learning Experience At Oregon Tech

Since coming from a very large city and moving to Klamath Falls, I have learned how to embrace a small community and cherish the people around me. In a smaller town, these connections feel more personal, and I’ve found that strong relationships, whether with classmates, professors, or coaches, can make all the difference in both academic and personal growth.

My Plans After Graduation

After graduating, I plan to use my business degree to build a brand centered around basketball training and development. Combining my passion for the game with strategic business knowledge, I aim to create a platform that helps athletes improve their skills while promoting a strong work ethic and leadership.
