But I’ve won and earned multiple medals during club volleyball; it’s insane. I would have to sit here for hours to write every single award/medal I got.

Sports History -- What Were Your Most Memorable Games/Accomplishments During Your Playing Time (high school or college or both): Playing in Bob Devaney (currently John Cook Arena) and knowing I belong on big stages. I’ve also played high-level volleyball throughout my life, and I remember earning 3rd place at two NIT tournaments, which was really cool. But winning state in 2023 was a pretty special and memorable game.

Other activites/honors during high school or college: I’ve been on the honor roll all 4 years in high school and I was also part of National Honors Society.

Hobbies: I love to read, hike, fish, and help my community out!

Describe Who Is The One Teacher/Instructor That Has Inspired You Most and Why: (what school was that teacher in): I feel like right now, Coach Balza has inspired me the most because she has such a unique story and she’s so successful in her life. She’s so strong and so empowering to those around her.
