A few things about me.​

I started playing multiple sports at a very young age. I established my love for sports because I enjoyed everything about the competitiveness of playing and having fun. As I got a little older I started to display great talents in the game of basketball. Back then organized sports to me was playing any sport with the boys outside on any court or field that was available at the time. I say with the boys because in the 90's where I grew up there weren't a lot of females outside playing contact sports. I started off playing for a variety of Recreation teams in Chapel Hill and Durham. Soon after the recreation leagues,I played for my middle school team, high school team and I even played AAU.  After AAU I went to College to play for NCCU and I even got a chance to play overseas and in the (NWBL) National Women's Basketball League in Texas. I still play in small leagues around town just to stay in shape and to keep my skills sharp. I've always embraced the competition of any sport that I played, but I was always trying to get better in the process, it wasn't just about winning. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to win, I just had a different outlook on losing. I learned at a young age, that if I wanted to increase my odds of winning the next time around, I had to learn from my mistakes, work a little harder, or do something differently. I didn't mind going outside or to the gym to play by myself. I had and still have a high level of self discipline which a lot of kids today don't have. And that's ok but that means they need someone that can guide them and help them stay on the right track to become better and that's where I come in.
