I have learned to channel positivity on the court. As an athlete I am open minded, coachable, have endurance, train hard, and maintain integrity to benefit not only myself but to support the team. I believe each member of our team is important and we strive to work cohesively. No one player can achieve everything. Success happens with great teamwork! I have truly been blessed this far.
Learning has always been critical in my life. I find myself advancing through participating in private lessons, group lessons, and camps. At home I find myself watching film and practicing with my family. Not only do I extend my athletic ability and knowledge to volleyball but I balance my academics through maintaining a 4.0 GPA . I am focused on a college who fulfills both my academic and athletic goals.
Ever since I was young, I found myself contributing by accepting opportunities to assist students with academics from 3rd to 5th grade. I participated in the NJHS program in middle school. 21-22, I made wind ensemble 1st chair flute as a freshman. I made 6th chair CODA. I am currently in FUSE, which is a program that juniors and seniors put in an application and get interviewed to be in. We help the freshman enter and become comfortable in their Highschool experience, by including them and informing them of all the events we have going on. I am also in NHS and Moore Maniacs, our schools student section.
