Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a gritty, consistent, adaptable, and resilient player, with a high court IQ, who my teammates can rely on and my coaches can trust. Coaches have called me a very hard working, versatile and strong athlete, who is coachable, driven and has a high ceiling for growth and success.

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

I am a team-oriented, passionate and competitive teammate, with a deep love for the game of volleyball. With a big presence, proactive communication, and positive energy on the court, I am a natural leader and hype-girl for my team! Outside of my physical training, I work on my mental game with a sports psychologist, which allows me to train and play to my full potential and keep loving the sport!

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

AMS LEADERSHIP AWARD "Students were selected through a staff recommendation process because of their strong character, kindness and leadership skills, and in recognition of their hard work and leadership in our school. These kind, thoughtful, and engaged young leaders' positive influence will continue to shape AMS and the greater Anacortes community." Kia duNann, AMS Principal

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

Volunteering opens lots of opportunities for learning and growth. I have volunteered as a member of the Ball Rotation Team for the UW Huskies volleyball team. Very inspiring! I also volunteer for an organization that helps wildlife in oil spills. I have a strong love of the ocean and want to be a marine biologist to help save our oceans.
