Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am tenacious, resilient, and love the game of volleyball. I give 100% whenever possible and I relentlessly pursue every ball in my area. I also try to be the best teammate I can be in an effort to keep the team consistently better.

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

You will find me to be honest, hard-working, kind, and a team-player. My coaches would describe me as extremely 'coachable' and a stable, consistent force on the court through all 6 rotations.

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

I have been involved in the following: 1. FCCLA (1 year) 2. Quiz Bowl (league champs 2x in JH) 3. Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church Youth Group 4. Band (5 years) 5. Choir (4 years) 6. Student Council (1st year) 7. School Musical (1 year) 8. School Yearbook (1 year)

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

I am able to adapt to different circumstances easily, particularly stepping in this year as a freshman playing with seniors. This has prepared me to be an effective leader in the seasons to come. I am also pretty level-headed and can make decisions quickly. I am a 3-sport athlete as well, which contributes to my adaptability.
