What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
I chose Liberty because of its faith-centered community and the incredible resources and support the university provides. From the beginning, I knew I would be surrounded by people who shared similar values and morals, creating an environment where I could continue to grow both spiritually and personally. I also knew I would be supported academically, physically, and in every aspect of my development as a student-athlete. The genuine investment the coaches and staff showed in me throughout the recruiting process made a lasting impression, and I felt confident that Liberty was the right place to pursue my goals while continuing to grow on and off the court.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My mom is the most inspiring person in my life. She has the strongest faith of anyone I have ever known and lives it out every day through her actions. She selflessly gives her time to others, always putting their needs before her own, and approaches every challenge with grace and unwavering trust in God. Her ability to balance so much while continuing to serve those around her is something I deeply admire. She inspires me to grow in my own faith, lead by example, and strive to become the kind of person she is.
Is there something about your life and upbringing you would consider unique?
I learned how to ride a motorcycle before I could ride a bicycle.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
My most memorable athletic accomplishment was earning Second Team All-Big South Conference honors while also being named to the Big South All-Academic Team. I was also the runner-up for Big South Libero of the Year.
