Personal Statement
I am the starting OH for NCVBA's top national 16U team, 16 Diamond, with an approach jump of 10'0”. Prior to volleyball, I was a competitive gymnast, retiring as a state and regional champion. Since then, volleyball has been a good match for my competitive personality and athleticism. This is my third year of national-level club volleyball. My first year, I played middle blocker and last year I transitioned to right side, where I led the team in hitting percentage. This season I am playing outside and developing my skills all the way around. I bring energy and leadership to the court, as well as maximum effort and a strong desire to win! Additionally, I am very competitive in the classroom. I am ranked 8/134 and have a 4.32 GPA at Franklin Academy High School.
