2015 Highlights #2Personal Statement
My dreams are to be able to play College Volleyball and be able to get a quality education in order to get a good career and follow professionals aspirations. It would be great if my volleyball talents could help my parents pay for some of my college education. I am working to be one of the top setters in my age group not only in Puerto Rico, but in the country
