Tell us about your family's athletic background.
I've lived in basically every region of the country, and every person in my immediate family (and some extended) has played Division I college sports. My aunts played volleyball and introduced me to the sport, and I started playing once my older sister started because I wanted to be just like her.
What got you into volleyball, and why do you still love it?
I love volleyball because it's the ultimate team sport, and I love to compete more than anything. I love being a setter specifically because it challenges me to connect with every person on the team and find out how I can be the best for each of them.
