She inspires herself. She's the oldest firstborn on both sides of the family who is in love with volleyball and plans to play on farther after high school

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

When she was 13 on a travel 16u travel team and she had a professional volleyball player spike that ball and she picked it up like she was a pro herself! Everybody was just in awe.
