I have been playing volleyball since the third grade. I have played club volleyball since 5th grade and have played for elite teams traveling the country as well as beach volleyball during the summer. I love playing volleyball for the team aspect. Volleyball is a unique sport and one of the only sports that you can scream with joy after every point you get. Finding a team with drive and dedication is important to me because when everyone is driven and truly wants to play volleyball, it makes every second just that much more exciting. In addition, volleyball is a game of ups and downs and it is important to me to find a team that can excel during both ups and downs. It has been a dream of mine to play volleyball in college ever since I first saw a PAC 12 game in real life, and was told that could be me if I work hard.
