Born and raised in the Midwest, I made my way to the warmth by becoming a 4 year full-scholarship volleyball player at Flagler College where I studied Marketing, Business Admin, & Advertising. At Flagler I was an All-American, won 4 consecutive Peach Belt Conference Championships and was named PBC Setter of the year 3 years in a row. With the Covid-19 pandemic I was able to gain back another year of eligibility to play and continue my academic career. I took my 5th year as a graduate transfer to the University of Florida. During the 2023 season I came in as a walk on and earned scholarship and became the starting setter for the Gators making it to the second round of the NCAA tournament. Throughout my collegiate athletic career I have learned the importance of grit in a competitive team setting. I faced several serious injuries throughout my career and learned how to bounce back and persevere in order to maintain a winning mentality. I am happy to be on the Podium X team and start my life after athletics!
