Julianne Ortiz '18 Recruiting Profile

Volleyball is definitely my passion. There is NOTHING better than my sport in my opinion. I am 100% committed to my training. I am a person that does not miss practices. I am a leader in my team and I always try to motivate my teammates no matter what the score is. I never give up during the game, even if we are losing. In every game I give my all, and bring my passion and love to the court. I have very supportive parents and I think that is one of the secrets to my success in the court. My athleticism plays an important role in my game, and I train hard to be faster, jump higher and hit harder than anyone else. During practices I am 200% driven. My belief is that you have to practice in the way you want to play, so of course I practice very, very hard so that when the game comes, we win.

My wish is to play collegiate volleyball at the highest level. I am also committed to my academics, and I currently maintain a 3.89GPA  at Emadrian Bilingual School in Bayamon, PR. My goal is to represent my university with dignity and graduate with honors so that I can pursue my dream of becoming a Aerospace Engineer. To be able to accomplish these dreams, I will work night and day and be committed to my sport and my academics.
