The best coach you’ve ever had…
Scott Jackson is the best coach I’ve ever had. Scott was my high school coach, but I've known him since I started my volleyball journey in 3rd grade. He has always been encouraging as well as demanding, which I love. He expected the best and pushed me, and all of his athletes, to compete to the best of their ability. He provided excellent coaching and also acted as a perfect role model. Scott is someone who has shaped my volleyball career and has helped shape me into the person I am today.

Favorite moment in sport…
I don't have an absolute favorite moment, but my favorite memories all include the adrenaline rush I get from playing the game. Dropping on my knees in celebration and seeing the faces of my teammates after a great play or a big win is why I love this game. It is rewarding to see hard work pay off on the court and I think it's something to get excited about!

Best thing about your sport…
The best thing about volleyball is the team aspect. Nothing can be accomplished in this sport individually. I love that your team becomes like a second family, and that we all get to do what we love together as one.

How would you like to be remembered when your college athletic career is over?
I would like to be remembered for being an impactful player with great sportsmanship and passion, and one that gave all the glory to God.

Who has been most influential in your spiritual, academic, or athletic development as a student-athlete?
My mom has been a near flawless role model for me and my walk with God. Along with that comes other things that are important in my life, such as athletics and academics. She has taught me by example that giving up and taking the easy way out of things is never an option. My mom has proven to me that putting 100% into anything I do, whether it be living for God or playing the sport that I love, will always give back.
