Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I would describe my gameplay style as determined. I’m determined to do what it takes to succeed in this sport whether it’s putting in the extra work or uplifting teammates. I would also describe my style as being adaptive, being able to be flexible in certain situations and keeping an open mind remaining optimistic.

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

Being a multi sport athlete has brought me many lessons one being mental toughness and focus. If I have a goal I’m not going to stop until I achieve that goal. In volleyball I have such a deep passion to be great. On hard days I try to remain focused and push through in order to achieve the ultimate goal of being great.

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

I was the valedictorian graduating from my middle school. Last year I received the highest GPA in algebra 1.

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

Playing for a coach like Hubb has brought me a whole new perspective on teamwork. You should love a teammate like family and be willing to be there for them on and off the court. You should always be selfless. I’ve learned a good leader isn’t someone who bosses everyone around but someone who will build bonds beyond the team and always shows integrity and accountability. Show respect for everyone.

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

I have always struggled with having self confidence and questioning my ability to do things. But having such a good comforting coach has really changed the game for me. He’s taught me to appreciate every opportunity because you never know when that could all be over. Always play like there is no tomorrow. You can’t fix the past play but you can always fix how you react to the next one.
