Personal Statement
NCAA Eligibility ID: 1911736410
As a freshman, redshirted the 2023-2024 season at NCAA D2 Southwest Baptist University (indoor and beach teams).
I am currently attending and playing indoor volleyball for Vincennes University (Juco - Division 1) during the 2024-2025 academic year and will have 3 years of eligibility remaining after the season. Our team has a record of 30-12 and won the NJCAA Region 24 championship. I have played DS for most of the season and contributed at middle back defense, serve receive, and serving. I played Libero for one road match and helped the team win at our rival's gym!
I am a hard-working, versatile student athlete with lots of experience at multiple positions throughout my playing career with 12U-18U elite Chicago area club, high school, and college teams. I am primarily a Libero/DS with lots of experience playing all 3 back row defensive positions, and I have also been a 2-year starting Setter in a 6-2 system for my high school team (some setting experience at the club level and still training in college). I would be willing to play whatever position helps the team be successful. In addition to playing multiple positions, I have experience playing in rotational and perimeter defenses, 5-1 and 6-2 systems, have a serve accuracy above 90% during my career with greater than a 2.5 ace to error rate, and have been a team captain 6 different seasons.
As a redshirt my Freshman season at SBU, I competed hard in practice every day, lifted weights, utilized the training staff for recovery, and participated as a member of the bench for home matches. I also volunteered to travel with the team for several road matches to gain experience with athletic travel and academics away from campus. I was able to compete in preseason scrimmages and played left back and middle back defense. So far, with 34 college credit hours completed, I have a 3.7 GPA.
I also train and compete in beach volleyball. I took lessons in the sand at an early age then later played 3 club team summer beach power league seasons in high school and competed on the SBU beach team as a redshirt in Spring 2024. Playing beach has been an awesome way to develop my speed, quickness, and skills plus it is fun. Since I redshirted, I was unable to compete in regular season matches, but I played an exhibition beach match against a D1 Missouri State doubles team and earned the W.
If you are looking for a versatile player who can play L/DS/Setter with 3 years of eligibility and 2 years of college experience, I would love to chat about an opportunity to play for you following the 2024-2025 season.

In high school, I finished with a 3.944 cumulative GPA, was a member of the National Honor Society and the ACHS Student Athlete Advisory Committee, was named to the Academic All-Conference First Team during my Junior and Senior seasons, and was also selected as the School Winner for the Heisman High School Scholarship process in November 2022.
During my high school career, I started as the Libero on the JV Team during my Freshman year, as a DS on Varsity during my Soph year, as a Setter on Varsity during my Junior year, and as a 6-rotation Setter/Pin Hitter on Varsity during my Senior year. My team voted me as “Most Improved” during my Junior year because I volunteered to switch from a defensive position to Setter and helped the team finish with a 20-12 record. During my Senior year, I was selected to the 1st Team All Conference (NLCC) team, the All-Region team, and my teammates voted me as "Team Most Valuable Player" at the end of the season.
In 2023, I finished my 7th year of national-level club volleyball for Sky High Volleyball in Libertyville, IL. I played and started every match on the Sky High Adidas 18-1 Junior Olympic national-level club team. During my club career, I played 6-rotation OH, Libero/DS in both rotational and perimeter defensive systems, and Setter in a 6-2 system.
In 2022, I started every match and played all rotations across many positions for the Sky High Adidas 17-1 Junior Olympic national-level club team. I mainly started at L/DS, but I also played several matches as a 6-rotation Pin Hitter and several other matches at Setter.
In 2021, I played L/DS on the Sky High Adidas 17-Sophs team (as a 16U player), so I played up in age all season, including qualifiers and nationals. I started all matches, played all sets, and served every rotation.
During my career, I have been highlighted in several recruiting magazine articles:
