The best is yet to come.

Best memory from LVNVB?

Going to state, specifically our semi-final match against East Ridge my Sophomore year. Everything that goes along with making it to the state tournament like the banquet and staying in a hotel room with my teammates.

Advice for younger players?

Make connections with as many people as you possibly can. It makes it so much more fun coming into the gym and playing with people you are comfortable around.

Message to my parents:

Thank you Mom and Dad. You will never understand such a large impact you made on me in my volleyball career and how proud I am that you have and continue to show up because it means more than anything. I’m so grateful for your support it will never go unnoticed.
