Athletics and health have been a core value of mine my entire life. Volleyball is special to me in that it strengthens my leadership skills on and off the court, it provides an outlet for any emotions I am feeling and I can see how much I can grow as a person and an athlete through the lens of volleyball. I aspire to always push myself to my limits academically and athletically and, continuously prove to myself that I am dedicated, confident and a strong leader. Volleyball is my passion and has been for many years, I feel alive and part of a family when I am on the court, and I know I will always carry that with me no matter what team I am playing for.
