Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My style of setter is aggressive, defensive, and strong pin-to-pin playing style who is dynamic and versatile. Offensively, I am aggressive in directing fast, varied sets and often looking for quick tempo and high-pressure plays. Defensively, I am good at anticipating the opponent's attacks and quick to cover tips, off-speed shots, or deep corner. I also have a strong serve.

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

I am highly focused and determined, but keep the atmosphere light and enjoyable. I stay optimistic, even in challenging moments, maintaining high energy and a can-do attitude. I encourage teammates, celebrate successes, and approach mistakes with a growth mindset, using positivity to keep morale high.

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

Leadership Council

I've learned to motivate and guide others by setting a positive example, fostering a supportive environment, and helping to bring out the best in my teammates. This has taught me the importance of clear communication, accountability, and adaptability in a leadership role.

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

Miscommunication or lack of cohesion can lead to missed plays, uncoordinated attacks, or defensive lapses. This challenge requires constant focus, trust in teammates, and the ability to stay calm and effective even in high-stress moments, making it crucial for teams to develop strong chemistry and clear communication both on and off the court.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a well-rounded institution that balances athletic excellence with academics. The program should have strong coaching, a history of success, and a focus on player development. The school should have a supportive environment and campus culture to align with my personal interests and values.
