Achievements and accolades
Inner Child
I feel like this one best describes myself because I am always smiling on the court. I really love to just have joy when I play. I feel like my inner child is so happy when I can play and do the sport that I love. I’m so blessed to continue playing this sport
Film Friends
As much as I like exploring abroad, I love traveling in the US as well. This was from a fun summer trip to NY which great friends and teammates I have, you may recognize a few haha. Also we love to capture moments on film, it’s a cool hobby a lot of us share!
Love + Basketball
I love to watch sports. I used to play basketball when I was younger, so I’m a huge basketball fanatic, as well as other sports. Also, it’s so awesome to play with friends and do fun stuff together with them. I played with Alexa Gray my first year in Italy and we’ve still remained good friends. JT is my USA volleyball teammate and good friend as well.
Dinnertime
One of my favorite things to do is go to cool restaurants and different foods. This was from a restaurant called “Nusr-Et Steakhouse” where the owner is famous for sprinkling salt.
Family Fun
I love to explore the countries I’ve gotten to play in, and it was nice to have my family - including 3 sisters and 2 brothers - in those times come and visit and experience those places as well! This is my younger sister Shavona when we visited Universal Studios in Japan. We visited Universal Studios in Japan!
Starting Out
I didn’t start playing volleyball until I was 15, I think maybe I was 16 here. I actually tried out in 8th grade and got cut…I guess this is my MJ story

Whatever you do, work it with all your heart, as working for the Lord and not for men.
Everything that you could have ever wanted or dreamed of is on the other side of fear.
