Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a versatile and dedicated volleyball player with four years of experience, three of which have been spent competing at the national level. My passion for the game lies in the exhilaration of hitting the ball at the apex of my jump. While I may not be the tallest player on the court, I take pride in being a well-rounded outside hitter with a strong understanding of the game's intricacies.

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

My family introduced me to volleyball to help me build mental strength and self-confidence. Through the sport, I learned the importance of believing in myself and expressing that confidence to those around me. I love being with my teammates and appreciate the spirit we share as a united group.

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

I help by volunteering at my school for summer camps (volleyball) National Society of High School Scholars

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

Teamwork is undoubtedly the most important quality I have developed while working in a team environment. Supporting each other and working towards a common goal is both challenging and rewarding. The support system we have built as a team has led to great success, both for individuals and the collective unit.

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

Victories and losses are both equally important, as they have taught me significant lessons and provided me with a strong sense of purpose. This season, we all experienced our share of injuries, and I faced my own as well. For the first time, I learned how to listen to my body and understand that I am not indestructible. Competing at an elite level in volleyball requires sacrifice and commitment.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a strong academic college that can allow me to pursue my passion for volleyball while ensuring I prepare for my professional career. I enjoy playing volleyball, but I would love to attend an elite college academic program more than anything.
