Volleyball
A little about me:
I started dance at 3yo and moved on to sports at 7yo. I joined a travel softball league at 10yo but fell in love with volleyball & played on a volleyball travel team from 11yo to 18yo. I was a multi-sport student athlete until college which took up a majority of my time. Other sports included swimming and track and field. I volunteered in my communities through high school and college via clubs and volleyball. The opportunities that sports has provided has built in me a great character and lifelong skills. I have had time to heal from my volleyball injury last year & I'm back to playing in an adult league and working on figuring out my next journey in life.
