About Sophia

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

As a setter, I’m strategic, adaptable, and strong on defense. I focus on smart ball placement, quick decision-making, and staying calm under pressure. I’m a vocal leader, love reading the game, and bring energy on and off the court. I cover tips, read hitters well, and also contribute with tough serves and as a right-side hitter when needed.

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

I’m dedicated to building a strong mindset on and off the court. I work on staying focused, confident, and positive—especially under pressure. As a setter, I know the energy I bring sets the tone for the whole team, so I always aim to lead with calm, focus, and encouragement. A strong mentality is just as important as skill, and I’m committed to growing in both.

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

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

Moore Aloha Foundation – Volunteer (5 years) Passionate about supporting women in sports and empowering young female athletes through mentorship and community events. The St. Sebastian Sports Project – Volunteer Helped collect and distribute sports equipment to underfunded schools and communities, making athletics more accessible to all kids.

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

Being a dyslexic learner has been one of my biggest challenges, but it has also taught me how to approach obstacles with perseverance and creativity. I’ve learned to adapt and find strategies that work for me, which has strengthened my problem-solving skills both in the classroom and on the court. This experience has made me more determined and mentally tough, qualities that I bring to the table.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that challenges me both in the classroom and on the court. I want a school that supports student-athletes and different learning styles so I can grow academically and athletically.
