Personal Statement
I am very passionate about volleyball and intend to continue to pursue playing at a high level, while still attending a school with rigorous and challenging academics. I believe I am a great middle blocker because I am quick on my feet and enjoy the quick decision making involved with this position. My coaches have all said that one of my strengths is that I am extremely coachable. I am always willing to give 100% and am driven, focused and hard working. I believe that I am a good teammate because I always look for opportunities to encourage my team and let my play speak for itself. My volleyball skills continue to improve and I intend to continue to work as hard as I can to achieve my lofty goals. I am very committed to being the best I can be as a player, teammate and student. Although I am hoping to play at a DI school, I am open to playing at a competitive DII or DIII school as long as they are a fit for me academically.
I have five years of club experience and have loved every minute of my volleyball career so far. This is my third season playing for Vision Volleyball Club in Los Gatos, California (which is quite a commute from my home in Salinas). My family and I have committed to making sure that I continue to play for the very best club in order to grow and evolve as a player and to help me achieve my aspirations. My experience playing for Vision Volleyball Club has been fantastic and I look forward to continuing to learn and improve as a player guided by their incredible coaching staff.
I am committed to maintaining a very rigorous class schedule in high school including many honors and advanced placement courses. I enjoy the challenge of maintaining a 4.0+ while playing competitive volleyball at the highest level. I find that energy management and dedication are some of my academic strengths.
Outside of school and sports, I have been involved in National Charity League, Monterey Bay Chapter where I have had the opportunity to volunteer my time in a variety of philanthropies. I also volunteer at church camps each summer.
