What are your interests and hobbies outside volleyball?
Soccer, going to the beach, hanging out with family and friends, eating and dancing.
Why did you choose the University of Miami?
I loved the campus, going into a new volleyball program and experiencing something away from home.
What was your first impression of Miami?
I loved it. It was great to be around new teammates and meet new people. The campus was beautiful but it was hot!
Who is your favorite athlete and why?
My favorite athlete is Karch Kiraly. He is inspirational and awesome at defense. He is awesome on the beach… “He’s the man!”
Why did you start playing volleyball?
I started playing because most girls my age were playing where I grew up on the beach and then I played indoors after.
When did you start playing volleyball?
I started playing when I was twelve.

My goals are to get my business degree, to have a great volleyball season and to help my team accomplish our goals in the ACC and NCAA.
