Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

As a dedicated middle blocker, I have consistently demonstrated a strong command and strategic prowess in this role. From the moment I started playing volleyball, I've excelled at elevating my game against any level of competition. My aggressive playing style not only enhances my performance but also disrupts opposing outside hitters who thrive on spiking.

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

I bring both exceptional skill and a dynamic personality to the court. My aggressive playing style is not just a tactic; it's a reflection of my competitive mentality and relentless drive. I'm a dedicated team player that works to lift up my team when I can and rely on them just the same.

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

My club team for Volleyball is I AM. I play on their top team with a lot of incredible players. I've won awards every year through high school playing Varsity every year since being a Sophomore. This year I will be the captain of my high school team.

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

I've always been involved in community service and believe in giving back. I feel I'm a clutch player and play big in key moments. I believe my leadership shows in moments like that and always trying to keep a positive attitude.

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

I've always had to work hard for how I play and prove myself. I feel like I'm the always looking over my shoulder type of player and push myself extremely hard to be successful for myself and the team I'm playing for.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college that offers programs for what I'm looking to do in my professional life. That is very important to me. I would like to play for a coach that cares about their players and pushes them to be better, not just in Volleyball, but also with schooling.
