I began wrestling during my freshman year at Clayton High School in Clayton, North Carolina. Wrestling has taught me discipline, patience, mental toughness, and the importance of staying committed when things get difficult. I am a hard worker who listens to coaching and looks for ways to improve. During my senior year, my goals are to compete at a high level, become a more complete wrestler, support my teammates, and finish the season knowing I gave my best effort. My academic and career goal is to become a physical therapist. I want to help people recover from injuries, rebuild their strength, and return to the activities they enjoy.
