Jessica Pantoja '17 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was little, maybe about 7 or 8, I've always wanted to play professional basketball. Once I got into high school, I knew I wanted to inspire younger players to always chase their dreams, just like I am. I want to be an inspiration because I want to make it far in basketball, that's all I ever wanted. And one day it will come true because I have faith it will.  While playing basketball throughout middle and high school and currently at the moment, my coaches have told me I'm a great shooter and player as well , they've told me I can be somebody big if I put my mind to it and that's always inspired me to work harder at what I love. My dominant hand is my right but I'm a lefty. I shoot left-handed. All my life , I've been wanting to study to become a social worker or to study criminal justice. And I will do as I dream. I currently have a 3.0 GPA in school.
