Kare Ann Oshiro '24 Recruiting Profile

Aloha kākou! My name is Kare Ann Oshiro from ʻAiea, Hawaiʻi of the class of 2024 at Kamehameha Schools Kapālama with an overall GPA of 4.1. I am a 5ʻ9” (120lbs) Opposite Hitter. My ultimate goal is to pursue my college degree in forensic psychiatry while also playing competitive college volleyball. I am very excited to pursue my dream of being a college volleyball player! 

Since my freshman year, I have challenged myself with difficult classes to thrive in competitive academic environments. As a student-athlete, I take my academics seriously and understand that education is essential to my future development. But I am also very passionate about volleyball as it gives me balance in my life, opposite to my academic studies. 

My love for volleyball is undeniable. I started playing Club Volleyball as a freshman. I am a versatile player who played Middle and Outside Hitter but primarily Opposite Hitter. I have occasionally played back-row positions when needed. Through volleyball, I have learned that leadership, perseverance, and sportsmanship are values I have used to shape me into the person I am today and the person I will become. I am a team leader who leads by example and a very coachable player. I give my all in practices and I further better myself outside of the gym to become a better player at the sport I truly love. I hope to attain my goal of playing college volleyball as well as further my academic success!
