I was born in Dallas, TX on November 18th, 2003. I moved shortly after to Cedar Park, TX, which is outside of Austin. Growing up, I always loved sports, especially football and basketball. My parents did a great job of getting me involved in everything I loved. In my early years, I always wanted to be involved in sports and work in the sports industry if I didn't become a professional athlete, like every young kid says. Growing up with loving parents taught me so much about how I treat other people. I live by the golden rule, which is to treat others as you want to be treated. If I can make one person smile a day, then my day is great, and I try to live by this every day.

Before I was accepted to the University of Arkansas, I was very involved in my sports and wrapped my whole life around them. I thought that sports was my purpose and didn't think that I would be doing anything else with my life. When I tore my ACL for the second time, I realized that I needed to find my new purpose, and that was going to be in college. Since that day, I started taking school more seriously and started planning my future. I applied to a bunch of schools outside of Texas to try and be inspired somewhere other than Austin, Texas. Once I got into the University of Arkansas, the rest is history.

Throughout my 3 years at the University of Arkansas, I have learned so much about myself and who I am as a person. I think the biggest skill I learned was my ability to get things done early, so that I don't stress out. I learned that there are so many things to get involved in, and life is full of great things. Before I graduate, I would love to explore the real beauty of Arkansas and do all the outdoor activities that I did as a kid growing up. College is truly an amazing thing, and you get so much freedom, which can be scary at times, but in the end, we all need to be there at some point. I am above all nervous about my life after college, but I trust the lord has a plan for me, and everything will work out how it is supposed to!
