What I am most looking forward to when I start working with my new team at UW is probably just taking the next step in my development as a basketball player and as a person. I am really excited to learn from Coach Langley and the rest of the staff. Also, to be able to surround myself with such amazing girls who will push me to be my best every day.

I am most looking forward to the hard grind for most of the year. I love being pushed to my limits and not backing down from a challenge which is something I can’t wait for in college. I am also super excited to be able to experience my dream with my family. They have supported me through all of my basketball career, and I am so blessed that this opportunity came up. Finally, I am really looking forward to the girls and being with them. They are great people, and I am so excited to be a part of that culture they have.
