2017 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I started my athletic career with gymnastic, where I competed for 8 years. I reach level 8 out of 10 levels before retiring. I then started Volleyball and have found a true love for the sport. I have been playing for 2 years, I started on a metro team, learned the game and took private lessons to enhance my performance and understanding of the game. The next year made the 14 ROX team with OKC Charge. I have continued with my private lessons and attended the Univ of Texas hitters camp last summer. This summer I have been invited to play with a NAIA college OK Southwestern Christian University. I also play beach volleyball during the summer to help with endurance and vertical. I have a great understanding of the game, I work hard and am driven to do my best and above all I consider myself to be a team player.
