Preslie VanderWal '21 Recruiting Profile

I am committed to hard work, determination, and enthusiasm in whatever I do.

I’m currently undecided on a major but considering a business degree of some kind.

I’m a hardworking-dedicated student, who focuses on my studies, yet I have always enjoyed being involved in extracurricular activities. I’m currently a junior in high school and playing on the varsity team. I was brought up to my high school’s JV team playing a DS in my freshman year. I was offered a varsity position during my sophomore year but I chose to play JV to gain valuable experience and playing time.  I have also been involved in club volleyball for 5 years. I’ve played Libero on the Far Out clubs regional 15’s team, 16's team, 17's and 18's team. I am also active at my church singing on the praise team and staying involved with all the high school group activities.

I am the youngest of three children being raised by two great parents. Both my parents are entrepreneurs. My mother, Heidi started a business called Crowned Free. It’s a direct selling clothing and accessories business that gives back to women who have been sexually trafficked. My father, Mark is a partner in a company called Inno-Versity. They create learning and training solutions for larger corporation, schools and non-profits. We have a great family life and they have always been supportive of anything I commit to.
