Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I play with a high level of energy, leadership, and positivity. I lift up my team mates around me and always demand my personal best out of myself

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

I am a hard working leader, I like to lift those up around me, and I am a very focused individual that has a strong passion for winning. In my time away from the court, I like to volunteer in community groups such as best buddies and church groups.

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

I currently volunteer with "Best Buddies", and I just became Director of Public Relations for them. I also am a member of "Fellowship of Christian Athletes" group

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

I have been voted Captain of my Club team 2 years in a row. For my high school team, I won the "Eagle Award" as a sophomore. That award is for Leadership on and off the court. As far as teamwork, I know that the key to success is teamwork, not individual accolades, so I focus on maintaining a positive team atmosphere for my teammates. I also have over 100 hours of coaching community rec volleyball

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

I face the challenge of a heavy workload due to being a student, a school athlete, a club athlete, and a volunteer for several groups. I manage this by being smart with my time, and allowing time at night for my studies to maintain a very high GPA

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college where I can have a positive college experience in academics as well as athletics, but also one that offers my career field.
