Q&A Prior to 2026-27 Season
Q: What was it like getting to play for the Spanish U18 team this summer? What did you learn about yourself/your game?
A: It was a really great experience. Representing your country is always something that you dream about when you're little. I was really happy about it, and I learned some leadership, as I was a captain.

Q: Why did you choose to study psychology?
A: I've been thinking about doing sports psychology since I was about 14, 15 [years old]. I really wanted to follow my dreams. I thought that Ohio State was a good place to do that.

Q: What do you want Ohio State fans to know about you as a person and as a basketball player?
A: Well, as a person, I'm going to say that I'm a shy person, and that probably I'm not gonna be the real person I am [and open up right away], but I'll get to it. Playing, I'm going to be a passionate player that is going to go on the court and leave 100% and be the best version of myself that I can be.
