If you were a candy bar, what would

What is your favorite KING Hoops
Memory?
Skittle because each bite is a new flavor and I
feel like I can wear many different hats.
There are so many, but it would probably be Gym
Rats last spring seeing our coaches so happy
having us make it to the semi-finals after not
winning a game the year before. And of course
spending time with my teammates.
Do you have any hidden talents?
I really love photography!
What is the best book you have ever
read?
"Born a Crime" - I liked the way the book showed
what it was like growing up in a hostile
environment but also rise above it.
What are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my last AAU season because
I grew a lot as a person that season and I learned
a lot about myself and my teammates.
What do you enjoy most about
coaching at Kids in the Game?
The thing that I enjoyed most about coaching
was seeing the kids playing and enjoying
themselves learning new skills.
What are your plans for the future?
My plans are to move onto college and be the
second person in my family to obtain a college
degree.
