At the Northwest Power League, she showed off her quick movement pin to pin as a blocker, and consistently put a touch on attacks. Those soft blocks led to several quality transition chances for her team.

Her athleticism allows her to play bigger than her listed 5'10, and she is difficult to stop running a quick set.
