About Me

About Me

Volleyball is the one thing that I can do forever and am always going to love and never get tired of.  It’s my passion!  I have been playing since 4th grade, starting with rec, then club and school.  This is my 4th year on Instinct’s top team.  For club I play defense, but for school, I have also been required to set and hit.
