Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! I am a senior at Marquette Catholic High School in Alton, Illinois. I carry a 3.4 or higher GPA while taking AP, honors classes and dual enrollment classes. I have been continuing to work hard to improve my academic profile to better pursue my college academic goals of becoming a Forensic Scientist.
In my athletic career, I have played volleyball and basketball since 4th grade. Upon starting high school, I chose to put year-round focus into playing and improving at volleyball. This past high school season, I started the season as a starting DS and then moved to full time starting Libero half way into the season. As a volleyball player, I am coachable, or “sponge-like” as my coaches have said and adaptable to moving around between DS/L and setter. I am 110% committed to giving my all in practices and games because I fell in love with the excitement of a good dig and seeing my teammates get an amazing kill! I hope to one day coach and change the lives of youth players just as mine has been by my coaches!
