When I received these accomplishments I was humbled but I am also proud that others are recognizing me for all of my hard work and effort I put into this sport.
What are your interests outside of sports? Why do you like them?
My interests outside of sports are:
Travelling – I’m adventurous and like to explore different culture, different foods and different ways of life.
Animals – I have always loved animals with a particular love for dogs. My family has had a dog since I was a baby and always had a special connection with each of my dogs.
Who are your role models and why?
My role model is Serena Williams. One of her beliefs in sport is that a loss is not a loss, it is a lesson. She has always said over her career, she has learned more from her losses than all of her wins put together. Even though most people would always call her the G.O.A.T she continues to try and improve year after year.
Involvement in other sports or extracurricular. Why is it important for you?
Tennis was my first passion but when I started volleyball I realized I loved it more as it has a team aspect. I am a very social person who likes to engage with family, friends and teammates.
Academic highlights and how you felt when you received them?
I have always strived and achieved to maintain an academic average of greater than 80%. I am very proud that I am able to balance my academic and athletic goals at the same time.
What program would you like to attend in school?
I’m thinking of completing a business degree at the university level and focusing on Marketing. And recently I’ve taken an interest in sciences. At this point, I want to keep my options open.
How do you envision your school life in college/university?
My aspirations are to attend a university with a strong academic focus that also has a top volleyball program where I will have an opportunity to play at the highest level.
