Volleyball has been a huge part of my life since I was a little girl because my mom has been playing since before I was born- There is no question that I inherited the love of Volleyball. I played Indoor- 4 years Varsity in HS, 3 years Club & 2 years in college but found that Beach Volleyball is my true passion- BV has become more than my hobby, it has become my lifestyle. I've been playing at the Open level for only a year now but I'm only 22 so I have no where to go but up…and I have a fire inside me that is going to burn all the way to the top.
