Why Volleyball?

Out of all the sports I tried playing when I was little, volleyball was my favorite because I found it to be the most exciting. I like how it’s a high scoring game and how a team can come back from a point deficit at any time.

Person You Look up to Most:

My sister is the person that I look up to most because she finds ways to succeed in tough situations, particularly with balancing Division I volleyball and being pre-med at Harvard.

Favorite type of Ice Cream:
