I began playing basketball at the age of 14 and embarked on an international journey that has shaped my career. In April 2016, at 15, I traveled to Madrid, Spain, where I played for two seasons. During that time, I won the TCDA Tournament Championship but experienced a tough loss in the regular season quarterfinals against Real Madrid. In 2018, I moved to New York, where I played for one year, earning several NCAA Division I offers and being recognized as the Most Improved Player of the Year.

In the summer of 2019, I joined Huntington Prep Basketball, one of the top-ranked high schools in the U.S. That year, we secured a tournament championship, and I was ranked seventh in the state of West Virginia. In July 2020, I committed to the University of West Virginia. The year 2021 was a milestone for me, as our team reached a ranking as high as number six in the U.S., won our first tournament, and clinched a spot in the NCAA March Madness Tournament. During my freshman season, I was named to the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team and received accolades such as Most Generous Teammate and Team Man of the Year.

Despite these achievements, I sought more playing time to further develop my skills, leading me to transfer to South Carolina Upstate. While it may not be as prominent as WVU, it provided the opportunity I needed to grow as a player.
