How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am controlled on the court but very competitive. I stay focused on the next play and always try to keep my team positive and calm.

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

I have a very focused mentality when I’m playing. I have an outgoing personality so I love to cheer on our team and get excited when we do something great, but I always stay focused on winning.

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

I have been on the All Academic team for Central State 8 conference for volleyball and basketball for 2 years. I received the Ray Croc academic award in 2022.

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

I have developed my leadership skills more this year since I am now an upperclassman. I have worked on being more vocal on and off the court and setting a good example for the younger girls.

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

My biggest challenge was overcoming my anxiety that I had when I was younger. I have worked really hard to change my ways of thinking about things to help overcome this.

I am looking for a good business school academically with a strong volleyball program where I can contribute to the team. I am looking for a team where I can be a part of something great and be close with my teammates.
