Karissa Tatum ‘17 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

• I started playing volleyball my 8th grade year and absolutely fell in love with it. My dream has always been to play at a college level while working to get a degree in healthcare. The game has taught me leadership and how to be passionate about something. I think one thing that could set me aside from other players is that I am an ambidextrous hitter. Another thing is I feel like most of the talent I possess came naturally, considering I've played school ball for 4 years and this is my first year of club, but I am always working to improve my skills and become a better athlete. I could contribute to a team because I'm coachable, dedicated, and I try to push myself and my team to the max.
