Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I pride myself on being a leader on the court and especially as a front-row player. I focus on shutting down all hitters with well timed blocks, while also staying agile to cover tips or quick sets. I like to be vocal about what is happening on the other side of the net to help my defense better position themselves for the attack.

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

I stay focused, disciplined, and driven to constantly improve. I balance academics and athletic responsibilities with determination. I enjoy being a leader on and off the court, supporting teammates and classmates. I enjoy challenging myself by seeking out tough competition to further improve my skills and abilities.

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

During the first three years of my high school academic career I have achieved 4.0 or higher. During the 2024 season I received a Most Scholarly Award with a GPA of 4.5.

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

I have improved my recognition of opponent tendencies and attack schemes. I always encourage and pick up teammates no matter the situation. I always find the best in my teammates and encourage team bonding and community outreach with the local community.
