What/who inspired you to play volleyball? My good friend Sydney Striff who’s been playing since I can remember got me into it, I’m so grateful she did.

Describe yourself –I‘m an incoming freshman who loves playing volleyball, watching hockey, and spending time with both my families; my teammates and my kin.

What do you think your biggest contribution to the team is? My biggest contribution to the team is keeping people out of their heads, and working to challenge every girl as best I can, so they can become the best they can be.

Goals My goal is to play volleyball until I’m in a walker, and maybe get an education along the way. 

Why did you choose to play for Pierce College? Who wouldn’t want to play for a back-to-back state championship team, especially one composed of these girls and elite coaching staff?
