Senior year. The year that changed my life FOREVER. See how my basketball career takes an unexpected turn and the life lessons learned from the sport itself.

No matter where you are or what you do, there is always business to take care of! At one point, for me, this meant doing what I was supposed to do on AND off the basketball court. If you love what you do, you will do everything you can to protect and honor your passion by having a lazer-sharp focus that will lead yourself and others to victory! This is a glimpse of what "dancing" is in the world of collegiate athletics. Unforgettable moments, with unforgettable people.
