Why did you choose Ohio Wesleyan?
I chose Ohio Wesleyan because of the great atmosphere and everything it has to offer. I also loved the volleyball program and campus and I knew this was the place I was supposed to be at.
Why did you choose your major?
I am leaning towards doing sports news broadcasting. I have always loved sports as a kid and always knew I would do something relating to sports and speaking. I was also in the entrepreneurship academy throughout my four years of high school so I do want to continue that as well.
Why did you choose to compete in sports at Ohio Wesleyan?
I fell in love with the program and how teamlike the program is. At OWU, we really preach team ball and how important it is to play together with your team. I also like how competitive it is and how everyone wants to win so badly.
Do you have any pre-event rituals or superstitions?
I always say a prayer before every game and I also for some reason always chew gum right before we start our match.
What are your strengths as an athlete (as an individual)?
I would say some strengths of mine as an athlete would be bringing energy and always smiling on the court. I also have a lot of love for the sport and like to stay disciplined and driven while playing.
What event/sport other than your own would you like to try?
I would love to run track and field or play soccer. I always thought those sports were cool and I think I would enjoy them. I also would enjoy swimming because I swam for 10 years as a child.
Is there a specific coach or teammate who has helped you get where you are?
I would say my high school/club volleyball coach has made me a lot of the player I am today. I have a very special bond with him that has made me grow as a player through the years.
If you could have a super power, what would it be?
I would want to be able to read people's minds. I have always wanted to do that as a kid.
Which three people, living or dead, would you like to share a meal with?
Kobe Bryant, Victoria Garrick (former USC libero), and Oprah Winfrey
What is your go-to game-day snack?
My go-to game-day snack would be a banana or a protein bar for sure.
