Why do you want to play college volleyball?

~It’s an incredible opportunity to be able to continue playing your sport after high school. I think that being from North Dakota limits you to a smaller standard and I want to change that. I want to show people that anyone can be successful and find what they are good at. I want to inspire younger girls to dream big and put everything that they have into that dream to make it a reality. This sport means so much to me and I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend my college years playing the sport that I love. My job isn’t finished yet and I can’t wait to grow as a person and as a player.

What does your training schedule look like in-season and off-season?

~In-season includes a lot of strength and agility training along with team practices. I work on skills at home as much as I can such as ball control. In the off-season I continue strength training and continue growing my skills at camps and scrimmages.

How do you balance school, sports, and your personal life?

~It can be challenging sometimes but I just remember the goal that I have made for myself is worth all the hardships and sacrifices. I make sure that I still have time to just be alone so I can relax. I make time for my family and their support is the one of the main reasons I can balance it.

What are your strengths and weaknesses as a player?

~Strengths: I am mentally tough, I have an intense work ethic, I am vocal, I take this sport very seriously, I am focused, I have a powerful swing and smart ball placement, my defense is getting better with every rep.
weaknesses: my serve could be stronger and more consistent, I could improve my blocking technique, I could do better on reading the block on the other side of the net.

What are your academic interests or intended major?

~As of now I am undecided but am interested in business so I would probably go in that direction.
