Personal Statement

My collegiate goals and aspirations include being enrolled in a University that has a strong and diverse number of academic program options. I also strive to compete at the highest level possible that collegiate and post collegiate volleyball can offer in North America.

I am well suited to reach my goals as I am extremely coachable and my competitiveness pushes me to ALWAYS expect the most of myself for the purpose of contributing to team success. I have been selected to take on many leadership positions both on and off the court to date. I've been hired to help coach young volleyball athletes in both indoor and beach volleyball as my ongoing part time job during school and summer. I feel my strong volleyball skills and determination make me well suited to play and compete at a very high level. I absolutely love how volleyball has helped me grow as a person and I am excited to keep working as hard as I can to potentially reach my goals of playing Pro or National level in the future.

I highly value close relationships with family, friends and teammates. I tend to challenge myself by living outside my comfort zone to enjoy new and exciting experiences in life. Academically, I am a disciplined and confident student with a consistent 4.0 GPA year after year.

Side fact: things that make me really happy are stepping on a volleyball court with my teammates, cute small dogs, roller coasters, comedies, and the feeling of being part of a close knit team that I can proudly call family!

I'm very proud of my volleyball achievements and thank everyone who played a part in making them a reality:
