Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Tenacious, quick, and determined libero with grit. With sharp reflexes, I anchor the defense, making critical plays to keep my team in the game. As a reliable and skilled defender, my teammates trust me both on and off the court.

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

I am down to earth, hard-working, and I love to be a part of a team.

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

I was elected to be part of the APA, Actyve Player Association for volleyball, where we collaborate on how to improve the season and bring ideas on how the club can contribute to the community. I am a charter member of Jack and Jill of America for the West Los Angeles Chapter, a member of the Brentwood Black Family Association, and Paws for a Cause.

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

I have been a team captain for two of my four season in club volleyball and was also captain in 7th and 8th grade. Now, as a freshman on varsity, I continue to lead. I’m also involved in community service, supporting young entrepreneurs in Cameroon and Kenya. I co-founded cassava and goat farms in Kenya with my cousins. I am grateful for my blessings and always look for ways to help those in need.

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

I used to play both club soccer and club volleyball, often having two practices a day with auditions in between, all while keeping up with homework. My schedule has always been packed, but my family is super supportive, and I’ve learned to stay flexible. This season, I decided to stop playing soccer, but any free time I thought I’d have has been filled with my school workload.
