Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Aggressive and strategic with a strong motion of next point mentality, and stay one point at a time.I stay locked in, make smart decisions under pressure, and always focus on the execution.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Give each play all you got and when things don't go your way, learn from it and come back stronger. I stay positive and aggressive on and off the court focusing on the win, but no matter what my head stays up and my teams first. I bring positivity with some fun as well as discipline and aggression.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Over the years I'v had the chance to be a Girl Scout for over 8 years, Iv also done food banks and charity events. Award wise iv received various academic award, usually for A"s and B's.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Through sports, I have developed strong leadership and communication skills, on and off the court. I've learned what it takes to not just push myself but others and how to motivate others especially through rough patches such as tight games. Being apart of a team has taught me how to work with different personalities, and stay focused on the bigger goal and lead by example.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

One of the biggest challenges I have faced was having to push through the season with teammates who didn't take the sport as serious as i did. Im someone who yes, does enjoy having fun but knows when it's time to make that switch to focusing. I like to say I give my full effort, so being around other players that lacked that was frustrating. But showed me i cant lower my standards for others.

What type of college are you looking for?

Im looking for a school where i can continue my love of volleyball, but also one where i can get a strong education. As important as volleyball is its really significant to me to have a successful education and future career.
