Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I like to be a vocal leader and help my teammates know that we've got their back. I'm willing to dive all over the court, if I have to, to keep the ball in the air. I try to play quickly, but I am working hard on anticipating and reading, so I can be to the spot beforehand. I try to cover more ground than people may expect.

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

I play with a deep passion for winning. I am determined to give my very best and will compete for the very last point. It's fun for me to hype up my teammates and I have no problem showing my excitement when we do something well. I take pride in my ability to perform in big moments and actually thrive in those moments. Mistakes happen, but I love the phrase, "So What? Now What?"

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

As a multi-sport athlete, I didn't always have a lot of time for additional activities. I received the Presidential Scholar Award for "All A's" throughout Middle School. I was on the National Junior Honor Society in Middle School and anticipate National Honor Society in High School.

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

I love leading with my effort and passion. I believe others can see my effort and match me. All of my sports (basketball, softball, volleyball) have been team sports, so being a teammate has been critical throughout. Understanding that if I strive for my personal best, the team benefits.

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

Injuries are always tough to work through. I've had a couple broken ankles, or a broken wrist, that have sidelined me and that is so difficult. I want to be out there and I know I could help my team physically, but due to the injury, I can't. So, I've had to work extra hard to help them vocally, emotionally, and in a supportive way.

What type of college are you looking for?

I want to find the complete collegiate experience with sports and campus life that helps me continue to grow as a person. I want to compete on the largest stage possible and I would like the institution to be recognized for athletics and academics. Ultimately, I will need the education, so the right areas of study will be important and the right size of classrooms/campus/city will matter.
