2015 Skills & Hig...Personal Statement
In college, I want to further my education while continuing to play the sport I love. My dad has coached me from a very young age, practically since I could walk. I started playing competitively when I was eight. I have been told by various people (who know their way around the volleyball court) that I have an outstanding volleyball IQ. Off the volleyball court, I also grew up playing tennis and golf, which I love, though I chose to dedicate more of myself to volleyball. In the classroom I was awarded First Honor Roll all six semesters at Assumption. This year I chose to join Beta Club and become an Ambassador.
Outside of school and athletics, I volunteer regularly. I volunteered in an elementary school once a week during my sophomore year, assisting teachers in class as well as tutoring students. I also help my dad coach young volleyball players. I go to the Dare to Care center and help package canned goods regularly, but my favorite volunteer work is helping care for shelter dogs at the Kentucky Humane Society. I am passionate about everything I do and I try to live our school theme "make every second count." I plan to make the world a better place and enjoy myself while I do it.

Training
- Shred Fit
- 2 years
- I work with Maurice Urudia on gaining more muscle and being more well-rounded at least three times a week. He has me working on strengthening the muscles I do and do not use in volleyball to keep my body healthy so I can excel. He has helped me to build my confidence a ton and has shown me that I am far greater than I originally thought I was. He was a collegiate football player at the University of Louisville.

Are you in honor classes?
Yes. At Assumption, our Advanced classes are the top tier classes, just above honors. I have many advanced classes in core subjects. We do not have advanced level classes in religion or some of our other areas. I love drawing and painting so I take those classes for my humanities credit.Are you in AP/IB classes?
NoRegistered with the NCAA Eligibility Center?
