Family

My parents, Maureen and Eamonn, support me in all that I do, and I am extremely grateful for their constant sacrifices that allow me to pursue my passions. My three brothers, Liam, Sean, and Declan, are a main reason for my competitiveness. Growing up with three brothers teaches me how to be tough, gives me motivation, and provides me with excellent role models. I am very thankful for my family.

Personal Statement

I love the game of volleyball and appreciate everything it has brought me and look forward to where it will take me. I am a competitive athlete and I do everything I can to contribute to my team and our goal of winning. As a person I have grown to realize the importance of mental and physical toughness, time management, listening skills, dedication, and team work. I work very hard and accept instruction well in order to improve. Team is important to me, and I play and work well with my teammates. I listen to my hitters and coaches and take all advice that would help my setting. My goal in every game and practice is to consistently deliver good sets and to better every ball I touch. To improve, I am currently working on overall efficiency.

My goal is to compete at a high level of collegiate volleyball. I know I have the dedication and work ethic to compete and I will continue to work on and off the court to meet my goal.

Goals & Major

Currently I am interested in majoring in Education or Physical Therapy. I want to work with disabled children helping them physically or mentally. I hope to also be an advocate for children with disabilities.

Recently at Pitt Elite, my volleyball club, a number of children with varying disabilities came to the facility to play volleyball. I volunteered to help with the program and was completely blown away with how much I was able to take away from a few hours spent with other kids that loved the game of volleyball as much as I did. The children, despite their disability, worked so hard just to casually hit a blow-up beach volleyball around in a gym for a few hours. I didn’t understand why hitting a volleyball for a few hours gave them children so much joy until I realized it was because that was their best to play the sport they loved too. I couldn’t stop smiling after and I was so inspired by the children and their will to play despite their disabilities. After I promised that I would never complain about anything being hard because watching the kids reminded me of how lucky I am to be able to competitively play volleyball. Their love of the game only made my love and motivation stronger.
