I attended Clemson University for my Freshman year of college to study Environmental and Natural Resources Management. Halfway through the year I changed my major to Language and International Health. I have always had a love for science and continue to mold my major accordingly with the newest update being Aeronautical Sciences. Not only do I love science, but I have a strong passion for volleyball and have always been a strong athlete. I played in high school and won two state championships and was recruited actively to colleges D1 to D3 all over the country. My first year of college I chose to walk on to Clemson University's crew team. Despite this, my passion for volleyball continued and I proceeded to play on the Clemson University Club Volleyball team. Through volleyball I have gotten some amazing connections through networking at tournaments. I began to play semi-professionally in the Southeast portion of the U.S. and finally found the National Volleyball League, for whom I am currently working as a Club Med Sand Volleyball Academy Coach. Due to a family crisis, I was not able to attend Clemson for my sophomore year but was blessed to have been accepted into Palm Beach State where I plan to finish my Associates in Science.

I have been able to apply my passion for volleyball to my academics and have become a well rounded individual. I plan to continue to further my education so that I may gather a better understanding for my passion and be able to pass it on.
