The 6’3” prospect typically plays in the middle for her high school, Roosevelt, where she produced 210 kills and 97 blocks in 2019, but has recently moved to the right with her club team DaKine Warriors, experiencing a similar level of success. The future of her career will be at the prestigious Columbia University.</p>
