Excerpt from 2021 AVSR Global report:

“Ready to play RH or LH as a freshman in mid-Division I. … Powerful arm swing is a highlight. ... Competed as a setter for seven years, then switched to RH in 2019. ... Trains also as a beach player and competes internationally. ... Recruitable to play indoor, beach or both.”
