Academic Goals
To maintain excellent grades as I continue to develop as a person. This will give me the foundation I need so that I can be successful when I find my true calling.

College Goals
I would like to play Division 1 volleyball at a major university.

Life Goals
To glorify God and enjoy him forever.

Why do you want to compete in College ?
Two reasons: 1. I desire to compete at the highest levels of my sport. 2. Competing in a team environment on a collegiate level will provide me with life experiences few ever have. 

What makes you different ?
Beyond my physical abilities I pride myself in being a leader on and off the court that people want to follow. I believe that core values are at the heart of creating successful environments not only for myself, but for others. I push others around me to be the best so that our entire team can be successful.
