Personal Statement

Hello! My name is Maya Cardenas-Powell. I'm a student at Aloha High School in Beaverton, Oregon and I'm set to graduate in 2024. I am 5'6 and my primary position is DS. I've been a starter on my high school's varsity team all four years where I played as a L/OH/RH/DS. I play club for the Multnomah Athletic Club, playing all 6 rotations. As a student-athlete I am a dedicated and versatile athlete with a strong work ethic and a commitment to excellence. On the court, I bring skill, adaptability, and a team-oriented mindset. Off the court, my character is marked by integrity, discipline, and leadership. Academically, I maintain a solid record, showcasing my ability to balance sports and studies. I plan to major in Business Administration and minor in Finance to become a Financial Manager. What sets me apart is my holistic approach, I aspire to contribute not only athletically but also to the positive team culture and academic reputation of the institution. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills, dedication and character to your team and contribute to its success. I’m the first one to arrive on the court and the last to leave. I may not be on the winningest team, but I play every single match/set with heart.
