Born in the West and raised in the East, I come from a diverse, international family that shaped my love for culture, travel, and connection. Growing up in Florida sparked my passion for the outdoors—especially anything involving water—and taught me the importance of protecting our planet. I’m proud to support groups like the Florida Wildlife Federation and believe in preserving the biosphere for future generations. As a student-athlete at Monroe University, sports have always been a core part of who I am. I value teamwork, discipline, and being a positive role model for younger athletes. I give back to my community by helping at my former middle school, co-running youth volleyball camps, and coaching gymnastics—working with kids is something I truly love. Off the court, I’m passionate about health and medicine, with plans to become an MRI technician at a renowned hospital like Mass General. Family is my foundation and my biggest motivation!
