Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am always alert, competitive, hard working and don't shy away from the pressure. I play hard every point no matter the score or the opponent!

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

I am a pretty easy going, kind hearted person off the court. But on the court, I am a warrior and lay it all out on the floor. I love working to stay one step ahead of the other team's blockers, creating holes in the block for my hitters.

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

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

My club team went their separate ways this year and my club coaches did not support or believe in me. I was not treated well so I had to find a new club to get away from that toxic environment. It was challenging because I had been there for 4 years and never expected to be treated that way.

What type of college are you looking for?

A Christian school would be my first preference, but not a deal breaker if a non-Christian school felt like a great fit for me. Also, a nice fun college town that rallies behind their athletics, good academics, strong volleyball program and traditions, great coaches and people, green trees, brick buildings, and fairly easy to travel to and from.
