Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

As a libero/defensive specialist on the court, I focus on quick reflexes and agility. I believe that I excel at receiving and precise passing. I want to keep control of the ball for my team and make smart plays. I try to read the game and anticipate the opponent's moves to be successful.

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

As an outgoing and loud player, my mentality is all about bringing energy and enthusiasm to the court. I love staying supportive and cheering on my teammates, making sure everyone feels motivated and pumped up.

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

Volunteering has been a big part of my life. It has made me more aware of what is going on in my community and how I can help. Volunteering has also caused me to develop strong leadership skills by taking initiative. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience.

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

As a short player in volleyball, it can definitely be a challenge for me. I have to work extra hard to make up for my height disadvantage, jumping higher and being quicker on my feet. I use my speed and agility to my advantage to overcome this challenge. It pushes me to be more creative with my plays and strategic in my movement.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college that has a strong medical program, where I can get a solid education and hands-on experience in the field. It’s also super important to me that the college has a good volleyball team, so I can continue playing the sport I love at a competitive level. Ideally, the school would support both my academic and athletic goals, helping me balance my studies and training.
