Libero/Defensive Specialist
Club team: Pitt Elite 17 Gold
I attend Thomas Jefferson High School as a starting varsity defensive specialist: 2012 WPIAL Section Co-Champions. I have been playing volleyball for 5 years starting out in the setter position and switching to the libero/defensive specialist position 3 years ago. I consider myself to be a dedicated athlete. I train on and off the court attending Pittsburgh Strength, Fitness and Speed training 2 times a week and working out at a local gym. I am motivated to do whatever it takes to win. I bring an energetic presence on the court and am usually one of the loudest out there. As one of the team captains on my club team, I strive to motivate my teamates when I’m on and off the court to do their best, stay positive, and pump them up so together we can win.
