Bruna Leao

I am driven to succeed both athletically and academically. I am originally from Brazil but I have been living in the United States, on a permanent residency status, over the last seven years. However, my volleyball career started at a young age back in my hometown in Brazil. Since the beginning, I was inspired by my parents, Antonio Leao, who is a former Olympic Volleyball coach and my mom, who was a professional volleyball player. On the court, I have been leading both my high school and my club teams. My biggest asset is that I am an all-around outside hitter, delivering quality passes to the setter and being an efficient hitter. In addition, I am a team player who focuses on the court and in the classroom.
