I played Division One basketball at the University of Vermont, where I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science degree focusing on health sciences, nutrition, and sports management. Following my college experience, I embarked on a brief professional career overseas. I am immensely grateful for the numerous awards I received during my time on the court, starting with being the first to be named first team All-State in my high school district. In college, I earned the 6th Man of the Year award during my sophomore year and went on to achieve back-to-back Player of the Year titles during my junior and senior years.
