I committed to Miami over other schools because I wanted to attend a school with both a good academic and volleyball program.
To me, Miami volleyball is a group of people working together to achieve the same goals.
The best part of being on the team is being able to travel and compete on different campuses to represent Miami.
If I had to describe the team in one word it would be crazy.
