When Did You Start Playing The Sport You Are Playing and What Makes It Your Sport: I started playing in sixth grade at my middle school.

She is so passionate about the game of volleyball and works so hard to be good at what she does. She went from playing at an NAIA to playing at the international level. She has really shown me what it means to be a great teammate and person.

If you could be on any reality show, which one would it be and why: Hell’s Kitchen because I would want to see Gordon Ramsay yell at people and chef it up.
