10' testing - Vertical/Approach Jump Testing!
​March 23, 2022


I am in my SENIOR (class of 2025) year at IMG Academy! It is my 2nd year in the program, as I was part of the inaugural year of volleyball at IMG. As the world's leading sports education brand, I believe the developmental programming and support will equip me to take on the next chapter - college.

I have committed to play D1 volleyball at Howard University in the fall of 2025. I am honored to have the opportunity to attend such a highly respected historically black university (HBCU) that carries a unique legacy in higher education. I am also super excited to immerse myself and learn and grow from the stellar coaches and team.

I am devoted to volleyball and while I am dedicated to perfecting my level of play, I am also passionate about helping the future generations of athletes and contributing to society in an impactful way. 
Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you''ll look back and realize they were the big things.
