• Why you chose your sport: Volleyball chose me; I played baseball up until 8th grade when I started softball, and by my 11th grade year I was getting "recruited" by our volleyball coach because of how tall I was; I never imagined I would be playing at the collegiate level after only having 2 years of experience prior to my freshman season
• The biggest mental challenge to improving faster: I'm learning everyday to not be a perfectionist and to just let things happen; My biggest enemy on the court is my mind when I overthink
• Interesting Notes: I'm the only kid in my family with blonde-ish hair as well as curly hair; I have two moms, which is pretty dope and they both compete in jiujitsu (My mom is basically a world champ) 
• Brush With Greatness: My first assistant coach; She was the first role model I had when I entered college
