Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

As a defensive specialist, my focus is centered around strong court awareness and quick reflexes. I excel at reading the opponent’s attacks, positioning myself effectively to dig hard-hit balls, and maintaining consistent coverage of the back row. My agility allows me to make accurate passes and serve receives, while my communication with teammates ensures success for the team

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

I like to think I have an elite mindset when it comes to volleyball or life in general. I set goals, I track them and I accomplish them. I have constant positive self talk and enjoy lifting up my teammates and driving our energy force on the court.

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

As a dual-sport athlete, my time is limited. I play for National Indoor and Beach Volleyball Teams and also attend Jr High School. Seasonally, I volunteer to help coach youth sports at my church. I have consistently made Honor Roll for the past 3 semesters and look forward to continuing this trend into high school.

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

With the help of my mental skills coach, I have developed my leadership skills both on and off the court and have learned how to be a compassionate teammate. I love empowering my teammates to reach their full potential.

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

Yes. In my first season playing for Coast (on 13-1 Said) I strained by quadriceps during a travel tournament. It took weeks of physical therapy and mindset work to push past my injury and trust that my body would work the way I needed it to in order to compete. After much hard work and support from my teammates, coaches and family, I was able to return to the court with confidence.

What type of college are you looking for?

I would love to attend a college with a lively student body. I thrive on the crowd energy at a game and would love to attend a school with that environment. I am really open to anything so long as I get to pursue my volleyball dreams.
