Tell us about you! How did you get into sport? Where are you from? What is your story?
My name is Jazzy, I am from Upland, CA. I play guard for the Cal Berkeley, Women’s Basketball team. I got into my sport because of my dad and my brothers. My dad used to coach my older brothers and when I watched them play I always wanted to be a part of it.

What is a fun fact about you or something not many people know about you?
As a child I had epilepsy.

What has been your biggest struggle throughout your career? How have you dealt with or overcome that?

Injury is a part of life, and sport - how did you deal with yours?
By relying on the love that was around me and remaining faithful through it all.
