2015-2016 Season ...2016-2017 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My collegiate goals include getting a great education for my future job. I also plan on playing volleyball because it's a game I love to play, and my team is like family . My freshman year I played right side, went to state and made honorable mention in the Hawkeye Ten conference . As a sophomore I moved to middle, made it to Regional Finals and made all conference 2nd team. My main position is outside, which I've played 4 years at club, and where I'm playing my junior year. I'm a six rotation player and I'm happy to play anywhere I can benefit my team. I take my studies very seriously and I don't procrastinate on getting my work done. I show the same values in volleyball. I've learned that teamwork, motivation, and a positive attitude go a long way toward having success on and off the court.
