Personal Statement
Hello and thank you for your interest!
I am a Sophomore at Newton South High School (MA) where I play all 6 rotations as a starting outside hitter and primary passer for the Girls Varsity Team. I am currently an outside hitter for SMASH Volleyball Club's (Newton, MA) top U16 team and we will be playing at the 16 Open level most of the season. During the 2021/22 season, I was playing as a Libero for Owl's Volleyball Club on a U17 team. I consider myself a utility player, having played Outside, Libero, DS and Setter over the last 2 seasons. I previously played on Smash Volleyball Club's top teams since the age of 9!
When I am not playing indoor volleyball, I am likely on the beach or grass courts playing doubles. This summer I have competed at Coed Open/AA and Women's AA level. At the East Coast Championships in November 2023 (in Clearwater Florida), I finished in 9th place. Last spring I had the opportunity to spend a week in Hermosa Beach training with Elite Beach Volleyball Club and in 2024 I am 100% focused on competing at adult beach Open tournaments in order to improve my game and confidence.

During the season I am a manager for the Newton South High School Volleyball Boys team and I also coach children under the age of 12 at our Volleyball Youth Program. I like traveling, hanging out with friends, volunteering and in the winter you can find me on the ski and snowboard slopes.
