Bio: "I enter my junior year as a right side hitter for the XULA Gold Nuggets volleyball team. My family includes my mom, Janica, my dad, Stephen, and my two brothers, Christian and Jaylen. Over the last two years, I have loved contributing to our team's success on the court. During my freshman season, I earned Second Team All-RRAC honors and an Attacker of the Week award. I followed that up with my sophomore season by earning First Team All-RRAC honors and a Defensive Player of the Week award.
Outside of volleyball, I stay deeply involved in campus life and the New Orleans community. I am a member of Vanguard as a campus tour guide, work as a peer educator with SAPHE, and recently participated in undergraduate research at Tulane. Mental health advocacy is also very important to me, and I am proud to serve as a Campus Captain for The Hidden Opponent, which supports student-athletes. In my free time, I love giving back to the sport by coaching a local girls' youth volleyball team. I am also a vegetarian, and I enjoy staying active with pilates and cooking new recipes."
