Hi! My name is Mikayla and I’m a volleyball player at California State University Monterey Bay! I grew up doing karate for nine years before I switched over to volleyball my freshman year of high school after getting my black belt. Because of this, I am a big proponent of athlete health and safety. I believe that it is important that we keep our bodies happy and whole. I’m also a biology major with a concentration in ecology, evolution, and organismal biology. I’m a massive animal lover and my goal is to work with animals in the future. I love being in nature, and any opportunity to see animals I will jump on immediately! In my free time I love to be with my friends and family (including pets), preferably at the beach!
