Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I love to play at a high competitive level, giving my all out effort all the time while pushing others around me to do the same in an encouraging way.

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

I've always been a competitor. I love winning and I cannot stand losing. I would also say that I am a very cheerful and uplifting person. I love encouraging the people around me and being the best teammate and friend I could be. I am 100% an extrovert.

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

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

I have developed the skill of leadership greatly through this sport. I am learned what it means to be a great leader and how to be that for others. I have learned that sometimes being a great leader means to let others help you out, meaning I don't have all the answers all the time. I have also learned how to be a great teammate for others, cheering other people on through all the highs and lows.

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

Yes, I have faced challenges switching positions. I used to be a middle for about 3 years until my first real 12s season and it was definitely challenging switching to the outside. It was hard for me to switch my footwork and be able to pass. But through it all, it taught be so much and I am so grateful that I switched to such an amazing all around position.
