I am an extremely valuable team player because I’m very supportive and adaptable. I listen to my teammates on and off the court, I am eager to offer help when needed, and I keep an open mind when thinking about the teams’s needs. On the court I focus on clear communication and help to keep a positive, collaborative environment. I make sure my team mates know they can rely on me to perform, but also as a friend.

Some of my interests outside of volleyball include spending time with my friends and family, working, going to the beach, and travelling. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family because they take my mind off stressors in my life, and bring out the best in me. Working is a key interest outside of volleyball because I believe it prepares you for life after school. Lastly I love the beach and travelling. Travelling gives me a sense of freedom and new begging, I relish in new opportunities and environments.

My role models are my mother and friends Lauren and Matthew. I met Lauren and Matthew through volleyball, they are older than me and are both currently playing on post-secondary volleyball teams. They pushed me to always play to the fullest of my abilities and now to fulfil my goal of playing post-secondary. My mother is also my role model because she is the strongest, smartest woman I know, and my biggest supporter no matter what I want to pursue.

Being involved in other sports and extracurricular activities are important because they help teach you skills that are not taught in a classroom like leadership, team work, and time management. I have also made many friendships that I would not have had it not been for my involvement in extracurriculars. Playing multiple sports has not only helped to make me a well rounded player but also helped my confidence knowing I have succeeded in the past and will again with my many opportunities in the future.

I am interested in pursuing a teaching degree, because I would like to become an elementary school teacher. This is a job that interests me because it allows me a somewhat flexible schedule and not only I am teaching kids but I get to help them grow up.

I envision my post-secondary life to be a fresh start with new possibilities and change. I am excited to meet new people and discover new places, while continuing to play the sport I love at a higher level with girls who share the same passion. I am also prepared to organise my schedule based on my new/different priorities.
