Player Bio
How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
I like to play a fast-paced game, but I also like to control the tempo when I can so my team can play at a speed they are comfortable with. Different opponents take different levels of play. I'm a team player and try to spread the ball around as a setter so that the opponent can't always predict where to set the block.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I'm a mentally tough player. I don't let the other team (or a frustrated coach) get into my head. Staying positive has a huge impact on staying competitive. Giving up in the middle of a game is not an option. Point differentials count in some tournaments so I want to make the score as close as possible if we're behind. I'm also the "hype girl" of my team trying to bring the energy.
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
I previously played for Winter Park Volleyball Club and 863 Elite making 3 appearances at USAV Girls Junior National Championship. For 2026, I am planning to play beach volleyball for Phil Dalhausser as well as condition and train for the 2027 indoor season.
I started high school this year and I am a part of 3 different technical education academies: JROTC, Culinary and Healthcare.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
I am a squad leader in JROTC at my high school. I've also been the captain of my club volleyball team. This year I am also learning how to lead and follow as the only freshman on the varsity volleyball team.
Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
Most of the challenges I've faced in athletics have been personality conflicts. Some coaches interpret questions as insubordination. Some players are intimidated by my intensity when I play. I'm a laid back kid except for when I'm on the court. This year I am also one of 2 new girls who joined an established team. I was worried that I may not fit in. I'm grateful they have been so welcoming!
What type of college are you looking for?
I'm not sure yet. I want a school with a competitive athletic program, but I also want an education I can depend on later in life.
