Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
I love the atmosphere of the Christian values Liberty has and the team and staff felt like a family the minute I visited.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My mom inspires me because she works as hard as she can at everything she does and always expects that from me and my brothers.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
When we beat Hawaii and I went in as a blocking substitution then got a block as a freshman. We ended up winning that game and it was Liberty Volleyball’s first ever win against a ranked opponent.
If you picked your jersey/uniform number, why is that number important to you?
My mom was number 15, so I also wear the number 15.
Do you have any relatives who are playing or have played college or professional sports? (Names, relation to you,
what/where they played)?
My mom played basketball and volleyball at Lenoir Rhyne and my dad played football at Wingate.
Favorite meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and what is that special meal?
Shrimp and Grits is my favorite meal because that is what my mom ate during her first date with my dad.
What is the first app you check on your phone each day?
Instagram is the first app I check when I wake up.
What is your favorite hobby outside of athletics?
When I’m not playing volleyball, I love being on the lake and tubing.
Do you have any current pets (name and type of animal)?
I have a Beagle dog named Blitz.
Who was your favorite athlete growing up?
Madison Skinner
What is your favorite possession and why?
My Ninja Creami because it makes as much homemade ice cream as I want.
What is your Go-To karaoke song?
She Had Me at Heads Carolina - Cole Swindell
What is your dream vacation spot and why?
Currently it’s Switzerland because I would love to see the beautiful mountain ranges.
