Why I want to play college volleyball:
Throughout my international experience as a member of the Australian National Team, I have developed the dedication and discipline it takes to manage and thrive in a high performance environment. During my first season at Casper College, I have continued to grow and develop along this path. Junior college has given me the opportunity to gain high pressure game experience as a freshman, and I look forward to bringing that experience to a four year program. The elite level coaching and training that college volleyball offers is something that I am eager to continue being a part of. I am excited to further my athletic and academic journey in the United States.
