Q. What has your athletic career looked like? 

A. I played some random different sports until high school. My freshman year I started volleyball and track, but I stuck with volleyball because I loved it from the beginning. 

Q. When did you decide that committing for a sport was something you wanted to do?

A. Definitely the summer before my sophomore season. I think it might have been because I went to this super fun college camp with my best friend who also used to play. Basically around that time in my life I just knew playing in college was something I really really want to do.

Q. What are you most looking forward to in college (sports or academics)?

A. I have to say I am most looking forward to just college life in general. I am definitely so incredibly excited to play and take some fun classes but the things I genuinely can’t wait for are meeting a bunch of new people, living in a very new town, and just living the college life (dorming, campus life, etc.).
