Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

What makes me stand out on the court is my agility, fast reaction time, and reading ability. I am always one step ahead of my opponents and my teammates. If there is any ball that I can take that isn't relatively mine, I try my best to take it so I can better my teammates. I like to stay on my feet and run through the ball, rather than dive and limit some attacking options.

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

There is absolutely no ball that I can't touch. I love to dig, open net especially. My favorite part of playing libero is stealing a hitter's highlight. I like to think like a hitter on the court and see what their easiest option is so that I can be there to dig them. My first reflex is to just go for the ball every time.

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

I have developed many skills inside and outside of volleyball. Through volleyball, I have learned to be a leader and how to use my voice. Being captain of my school team and overall the commander of defense, I have developed the ability to connect with all my teammates and help to better the team environment. Outside of volleyball, I do lots of community service and love being part of one!
