What are your plans after this year?
I plan to go to grad school and get a master's degree in marriage and a family therapy. Ultimately, I want to be a therapist with my own private practice that works with all families but specializes in working with families of color.
What is your message to the Redhawk family?
I am very blessed and fortunate to have had basketball to get me through my college years and use that avenue to learn and gain so much knowledge towards my future goals of being a therapist and impacting families, specifically families of color, in a positive way. I also appreciate all coaches I have had throughout my time here, especially Coach Barcomb for giving me the opportunity to play here for four years. I also wanted to thank all the fans who supported me and the team while at SU.
