What is your favorite app? My favorite app is Pinterest as I find a lot of my art inspiration from there as well as ideas for my classroom as I study to become a teacher!
What is your favorite song to listen to and artist prior to competing or working out? My favorite song and artists that I listen to when competing is constantly changing because I actually have a playlist that I made called "Volleyball Tunes". This playlist consists of songs that make me excited and ready to play such as "Amsterdam" by Imagine Dragons or "Run" by OneRepublic. The playlist consists of an insane amount of artists all the way from Coldplay to Doja Cat!
Who is your favorite sports hero? My favorite sports hero would have to be Derek Jeter. I grew up as a Yankee fan, and I always admired Jeter's dedication to his sport and his team, which is something I strive whenever I play. He showed me what it means to be a part of a team.
What is the dream destination that you would like to travel to? The dream destination that I would love to travel to is not just one, but so many places around the world. I think the first on my list would be have to Italy. There is so much history and art to discover, as well as plenty of good food to eat!
What non-sport related activities/hobbies do you enjoy? The non-sport related activities/hobbies that I really enjoy participating in are the arts. I love to sing and perform on stage as well as draw. I am also an avid reader, so on long bus rides you will find me listening to music and reading a good book!
Do you have anyone that you would like to thank? I would really love to thank my teammates. My teammates were the ones to push me to my highest potential in a game while also never failing to make me laugh, they were the best teammates anyone could ever ask for. I would also like to thank Coach Julian and Luis for not only enhancing my volleyball skills, but also proving to me that I have the potential to learn new ones like setting while helping me build my physical and mental toughness. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for all their love and support, especially my dad Danny, who has always been and always will be my number one fan in volleyball and everything I do!
