What do you like most about your activity?
I love lacrosse because it has a combination of strategic thinking, fast-paced play, and lots of versatility allowing everyone to have a role in the game. In addition, I love the teamwork and comradery that gives me the opportunity to compete alongside my best friends.

What do you like most about Farmington High School?
My favorite thing about Farmington High School is the opportunity given to excel in both athletics and academics. Additionally, I enjoy the people apart of Farmington High School including the faculty and my friends who have shaped me into the person I am today.

What motivates you to do your best?
What motivates me to always do my best is the saying "someone's always working harder than you." This saying pushes me to never settle at the level I'm at, but to continue to work harder to become the best player I can.  

Who is your role model? Why?
I have two main role models in my life, and they would be my parents. My mom and dad are two of the most motivated people and hardest workers I know. They lead with passion and strength while embracing any challenges they might face with resilience. They have shaped me into the person I am, and I'll forever look up to them.

What advice would you give to younger students, especially those in elementary and middle school?
My advice for younger student athletes would be to stay consistent, develop mental toughness, learn from your failure, stay true to who you are, and most of all enjoy the journey!

What are your hobbies?
Some of my hobbies are pickleball, ping pong, watching and playing basketball, skiing, running, wake surfing, hiking, and being with family and friends.

What are your plans after high school?
My plan after high school is to major in Psychology and continue my lacrosse career at Liberty University.
