Personal Highlights

Highly competitive athlete in water polo, class president/ student leader, and active in community outreach programs. Personal beliefs: always have a positive attitude, listen to the coach, always work hard, and the team is more important than the player. I love my USA Women's Water Polo Developmental Team :)

Additional Questions:
Why do you want to be recruited to play sports in college?
-
Athletes are often leaders on and off the field. Please provide one example of how you have demonstrated leadership in both areas.

School Treasurer; responsible for guiding and co-planning the student activities budget. Active participant/ leader in Girl Scouting. As a peer tutor, I make sure my classmates are keeping up with the academic pacing. I frequently help the teaching staff at my school, so that I may prepare myself in advance for projects and help the success of education I receive. I have enjoyed leading my team to silver and gold medals in the 2014 and 2015 USA Water Polo J.O.'s as a team leader as well as in scoring, blocks, and assists. My experiences on the US Women's National Developmental Team have been invaluable in developing my skills in offense and defense.

Please explain how you pursue "healthy athletic performance" as a student-athlete.

I make sure I have a healthy athletic performance first by keeping a good diet. My body is made up of what I eat and my performance depends on it. Training in different ways (aerobic and skill based) like running, land training, and playing other sports (like softball) let my body stretch it's potential. What perfects my style is my practice. I focus on what my coaches expect me to work on as well as what I feel I am weak on at that time.

Please describe how you are involved in service in your community and why these efforts are important to you.

I serve my community through food drives, and book drives through Girl Scouting. Reaching out to the people in my community lets me help others achieve their goals and helps me appreciate how lucky I am.

We SOCAL 14 Blacks took Silver... one goal off, we'll get them next time. Lots of goals, wins, and great plays... I love my team. It's a competition and I'm there to win, which makes it that much...
