Who are some role models in your life?

I look up to my parents, trainer Taber Spani, and God.

A strength of my game is being a mismatch. If you put someone smaller on me I’ll go to the post and if they are bigger I will take them out to the perimeter to drive or shoot the three. 

What is your favorite memory of your career?

My favorite memory of my career is probably the feeling I had after making the U16 USA junior national team.

I would tell them that you have to fall in love with the process and that when you really love something it’s not work.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Hawaii 

How old were you when you fell in love with the game?

I truly fell in love with the game in 8th grade, so I was 13-14 years old. 

If you could meet one sports hero, who would it be?

I would want to meet Larry Bird or Luka Doncic

What is your favorite sports moment, as a fan?

My favorite sports moment as a fan would be reading and learning about the dream team. When Bird, Magic, and Jordan got to play on the same team for the 1992 Olympics.
