About Me

The person that inspires me the most is my mother because she leads by example and has always taught me to never give up in any hard situation. Something special about me that many people don’t know is that

I really love baking.  In 5 years, I see myself starting to run a business or a part of a bakery.  One my most memorable moments in volleyball was beating my old volleyball club. Another moment would be winning a bid with my 18s team.  I would like to thank my parents, Coach Mike, Coach Duane, all my family.  I would also like to thank all the parents of my teammates each have been extremely helpful and encouraging and last, I would like to thank Coach Pat which all would not have been possible without the opportunity.

Advice I would give to younger players that look up to me would be to stay consistent never forget why you started, there will be hard days and even days it feels impossible but just know with rain comes flowers and in the end you will be extremely proud of yourself, and all the hard work will be worth it.
