During my two-year high school career as setter on the Xavier College Preparatory Varsity Volleyball team, I am averaging 9.7 assists per set and 1748 total assists in 180 sets.  This year, in the Covid shortened 2020-2021 season, I was Varsity team captain as a Junior and earned first team all-region selection as a setter.  My club team AZEVJ 17N1 finished 3rd at USAV Girls Junior Nationals this year and I was also voted to the All-Tournament team!

My love for volleyball is evident by my constant pursuit of training and willingness to take constructive criticism along with learning more about the game and my position. I am looking for a school that challenges me both academically and athletically in my pursuit of continued growth and mentality to win...
