I was the only 7th grader chosen to play at the high school level in my school district. I had to navigate a higher level of maturity in the social grouping of a high school team. During this time, I learned to step out of my comfort zone, step up my level of play, and overcome insecurities to earn my spot and help the teams I was placed on to succeed.

I am interested in continuing my volleyball career at the collegiate level in whatever way possible. I am open to any level, but have a goal for DII or DI level if possible.
