Heather Raum '21 Recruiting Profile

I am more than excited to start my life. I want to travel, learn and meet new people. And of course, I want to be a college athlete. I love being part of a team on and off the court, having that family and support is so important to me. I always want to be coached and make new connections with my teammates. 

After I graduate from Rhinebeck High School, I will have completed my first year of credits for college at Dutchess Community College through something called the bridge program. I then plan to do a gap year, in which I will work through a program called Work Away. This will give me amazing opportunities to meet new people and experience cultures. While doing this, I, of course, will be playing volleyball and practising with new and different coaches. 

I hope to study sport psychology at college and always have time for me to go into the woods, go backpacking and spend my spare time in nature.
