Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My gameplay style would be very aggressive and physical. I would say I’m not afraid to make the far set or the “unexpected” one in any scenarios including tight third sets.

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

I would say I am a very competitive and disciplined person and player. I’m driven to showcase my best abilities on what I can do on the court that will have the team in a better position win, while showing off my hitters. Also, I’m very determined to always learning more and to keep going.

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

Yes, I am involved in HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) is a club that prepares students for careers in the health field. Also, green club it helps the environment of the school and around the world to be better and cleaner. I have recovered principal honor roll and honor roll throughout all of elementary,middle school, and the first year of highschool.

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

I learned to be a leader this past season. Which was a bit different because I have never had this big of a role during club season but I adjusted and at the end I thrived. There was a lot of trials but I found the best way to communicate to my teammates for a positive outcome at the end.

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

A challenge I have faced was confidenece. I never have had confidence in myself because I always know there was someone better than me. But then I learned “comparison kills joy” so I look at it in a different way. Instead of saying why can’t I jump as high as she can. I would now say what can I do to jump higher.
