Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I would describe it as intense, but smart at the same time. In intense I am a hustler on the court front and back row, I work very hard to transition out and if I can’t, I play smartly and call a inside ball and hit to the corners, and with the smart part of my gameplay I like to hit those cut shots that are very hard to get to depending on if the other team is running perimeter or rotational.

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

I have a mentality of if you want something work hard to achieve it and I think it’s helped me a lot in my career of playing because I want to take volleyball to the next level as an playing in collage.

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

I have received honor roll, and I am in a club called happy paws and you help to support shelters animals and help take care and potentially find a loving home.

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

I have almost become a whole new person because of volleyball and in a very good way, I’ve gained leadership skills along with communication and learning how to properly get stuff solved without having an attitude or causing conflict.

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

During my 15’s season before AAU and GJNC’s my middle drifted and fractured my 5th metatarsal on my left foot. The biggest part that was hard was not being able to play in the two biggest tournaments and not being able to be there with my team and play my heart out.
