When did you start playing volleyball? I’ve been playing since the first grade, so since I was 6. My sisters started playing, my older sisters, so I wanted to be like them. What do you think your best volleyball skill is? Well, my primary position is libero, so it’s on the back row. It’s a defensive position. That’s what I like doing the best, and passing. What is your favorite volleyball memory? This year at Riverview when we won our match to get into the Final Four. We beat Martin County. That was really fun. The volleyball team here hadn’t made it that far in a really long time. What music do you listen to before a match? My sister (Kayla) and I usually listen to music together. We listen to rap music to get pumped.
What is your favorite movie and TV show? My favorite TV show would have to be “Friends.” My favorite movie? Probably “Step Brothers.” Who is your favorite teacher? This year it’s my English teacher, Mr. (Michael) Harvey. He just talks to us, tells us stories. I think he is my favorite teacher ever.

What is the hardest you’ve ever laughed? It was probably last year on my club team (Orlando Tampa Volleyball Association). My friend Elly Frierson ... she just makes me laugh all the time.
