Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I rally my team up and bring the heat. I am always using my court awareness during the game to help my team in the best way. My focus is more how can I help my hitters execute our plays most efficiently and aggressively.

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

I am a natural born leader. I am a loud, energetic, enthusiastic person on and off the court. Don't get me wrong I can be intense sometimes, but I know how to balance focus and energy at the same time.

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

I have been a model for Brand Model Talent Agency since Age 3. Academic principal’s Honor Roll Freshman year.

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

The qualities and skills I have developed all stem from volleyball, school, and family. I am a natural born leader. I know how to run an offense for my team, and outside of volleyball my family has shaped me to be a mentally strong person.

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

A challenge I have had to overcome is switching positions. Shortly before my 15's season I switched from a Libero to a Setter/opposite. The switch forced me to become a different type of leader. Instead of leading the defense aspect, I had to become the leader of the whole offense and defense. I had no room to error becoming an incoming freshman setter on varsity.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am not looking for a mediocre D1 college. I want an intense D1 playing style that can level up my game from good to elite. The program must have high standards of teamwork and community.
