“I have spent my career under the foundation/motto of playing with God. Throughout my 12 years of playing, there are a lot of things I have learned with this foundation being my driving factor. One thing I want to help pass along to this generation of athletes, beyond the fundamentals and techniques of volleyball, is how sport can be a tool that develops a level of grit and character inside of us, that helps prepare us to make an impact for His Kingdom.”
