I always maintained the goal of making it to the next level. It started out by making the middle school basketball team, starting on the high school varsity team, becoming a Division 1 athlete, and now, a professional basketball player. The journey hasn't been easy, but I wouldn't trade the friendships, mentors, or experiences I've gained for anything. I am grateful for the opportunity to play basketball for a living. I am unsure of where I will be playing or working five years from now, but today, I am a professional athlete for Team FOG out of Naestved, Denmark.
