Career Highlight:
My career highlight for volleyball is winning a regional championship with my team. For basketball, it was going undefeated in conference and taking first place. My soccer highlight is starting on varsity as a freshman.

How did you get started playing your sport(s)?
I started playing volleyball because my mom, older sister, and cousins played so I wanted to play, too. I started basketball when I was very young because my dad played. I played soccer because my older brother played and I liked to run a lot.

How has the balance between academics and athletics changed for you from freshman to senior year?

Freshman year, I wasn’t as good at managing my time, so I would often stay up very late doing homework and studying after practices and games. Now, I try to get everything done during the day or before a game so I don’t have to worry about school when I should be focused on my sport.

Making lifelong friendships and experiences through sports that I wouldn’t have otherwise is my favorite part about being involved in sports.
