About Yana
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
I am a dedicated member of Student Council and enjoy finding ways to improve my school community. One accomplishment I am especially proud of was helping bring outdoor volleyball nets to my middle school. I came up with the idea, researched options, and worked with school staff to make it happen. This showed me how much of a difference one idea can make when you take initiative and follow through.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
Volleyball has taught me how to work with others, stay focused, and keep a positive mindset, even during challenging games. As a defensive specialist, communication is extremely important, and I am constantly talking with my teammates about seams, coverage, and the plays the other team is running. These experiences have helped me develop strong teamwork, leadership, and communication skills.
What type of college are you looking for?
I am looking for a college that is the right fit for me both academically and athletically. While I would love the opportunity to play volleyball at the Division I level, my main goal is to attend a college where I can continue competing at a high level. I am looking for a school that will challenge me, support my goals, and provide opportunities for growth both on and off the court.
