Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I would say I’m a very athletic player. I like the challenge of highly intense games and I like to push my limits.

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

I like encouraging my teammates during practice and games and also just having fun with them so the game is enjoyable for everyone.

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

I play at Empowered Volleyball Academy and I’ve received awards for swim and baton. I’ve also received many award for achieving an honors gpa at my school.

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

I think I’m a good leader and I love doing things as a team. Having a strong and connected team is very important to me.

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

I think the most challenging thing I’ve faced is my height. I was always told I was too short to play and I wouldn’t be able to get far so I want to prove those people wrong. Also with school and the rule that no more than 3 players from the same school can be on the same team has really held me back.
