2015 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a level-headed, smart, dependable, team-oriented individual. I diligently lead by example through my actions on and off the court. On the court, I focus on what is best for the team. I strive to fulfill any task given to me to help the team succeed. Being a 6' 6" left-hand dominant setter gives me advantages that a coach and team can count on. Off the court, I work hard on my academics. Being prepared for tests and completing assignments to the best of my ability is really important to me. Teachers describe me as being a conscientious, hard-working student. I strive to be a good person by demonstrating respect and consideration when doing my volunteer work and as I go about my daily life.
