Personal Statement
My goal is to find a college with the best academics where I can also play volleyball at an elite level. Last year, I earned the Academic Excellence Award for having the highest cumulative GPA in my graduating class and currently have a 4.7 GPA taking an all honors schedule at Shawnee Mission East High School. I was the starting varsity libero every game as a freshman and was listed as a 2018 Sunflower League Honorable Mention. I know what it takes and how to put in the hard work to succeed in academics and athletics.
I have played at KC Power volleyball club for 5 years and have been described as having grit and great hustle by many coaches. I am relentless on defense and a consistent serve receive passer. Having a high level of court awareness allows me to read hitters and predict where the ball is going to go. My high energy level, leadership in the back row, and effective communication allows me to encourage my teammates and let them know what is happening on the court. Teammates come to me for support on and off the court because I am reliable, trustworthy, and dependable.
