Graduating Class: 2026
Position: Middle Blocker/Hitter averaging .43% to .56% kill rate. Rotate to OH on high school team as needed.
About Me: I love this game! I love the fast pace and constant action of playing Middle. There's nothing more satisfying than a kill or a big block! I am a passionate volleyball player who is a well rounded student excelling in athletics, academics and the arts. I am driven and work hard on and off the court and maintain a 4.1 GPA. I plan to play volleyball at the collegiate level. My family loves to travel and because of those experiences I am open to playing ball outside of my home state of Texas. Academically, I am a member of the National Honor Society. Artistically, I have played the Cello since I was in kindergarten and am a Cellist in the LD Bell High School Orchestra and have been selected for the DFW All-Region Orchestra for the past 5 years. In Athletics, I am a starter for both my high school team where I am 3rd year Varsity and my club team where I am a co-Captain for Integrity Intense Blue. I was selected the MVP at the Caribbean Girls Volleyball Championship and selected for the All-Tournament Team at the 2024 USAV National Championship. I was also selected for the AVCA Phenom Watch List in 2023 and 2024.
