Personal Statement
My goal is to play collegiate volleyball while earning a degree. I started playing at 8 and immediately fell in love. Volleyball has taught me teamwork, communication, and more. Over the years, I've played multiple positions—MB, Pin, DS, and Setter—to become versatile and a strong team player. However, I love the setter role and the pressure it involves. As a team leader, I lead by example and support others. I'm passionate and dedicated, living by the "Out Work Them" mentality, knowing that work ethic beats talent with discipline and time. I've maintained A's in high school with a course load in Honors, AP, and college classes. I understand dedication, passion, and hard work is required at the next level and strive to play at the highest level that suits me athletically and academically.
