First and foremost, I excel at running a fast-paced offense, utilizing a high volleyball IQ to make quick, intelligent decisions on the court.

On the court, I maintain a strong and focused mentality, even when mistakes occur. My resilience helps me stay centered and reminds me of my passion for the game. While I am an extrovert at heart, I also value my alone time. I’m level-headed and analytical, and I take pride in ensuring that others are well-supported and taken care of.
