VYPE: Who inspires you?
MK: My parents inspire me because they show me what it’s like to work hard every single day.
VYPE: What is your strength on the court and what have you worked on the most to improve?

MK: I think the biggest surprise of my career was being given the opportunity to play at the next level.
