It is a dream of mine to play volleyball at a top collegiate program while earning my degree in the area of Sciences. I successfully balance my studies along with training and volunteering in my community and I have been hired by my club to help coach our U12/13 beach volleyball teams and run practices 2 times per week. I'm looking forward to further developing my leadership skills and coaching strategies from the experienced head coaches and seeing the game from a different perspective.
My extra-curricular activities include volunteering each month in the nursery at my church, monthly bottle drives as well as babysitting to help pay for my volleyball season and travel costs, and also an occasional paid position helping coach Volleyball BC's Atomic program for 9-12 year old athletes.
Thank you for reading my profile and considering me as a potential student-athlete.
