Next Level U Statement
I am a competitive outside hitter from Calgary, Alberta, with a strong passion for volleyball and a goal of continuing to play at the university level. I take pride in being a hardworking, dedicated teammate who brings energy, competitiveness, and a strong work ethic to the court. I value being part of a team, competing at a high level, and contributing wherever I can.
I am committed to continuing to grow as a player while balancing academics and athletics. Outside of volleyball, I have a strong interest in architecture and hope to pursue it in the future. I am looking forward to finding a university where I can challenge myself academically, contribute to a competitive volleyball program, and continue developing both on and off the court.

At U16, I moved to right side hitter, and this season U17 I’ve taken on the outside hitter position.
I’m a consistent, competitive outside hitter who stays composed under pressure. I bring a strong attack, reliable serve receive, and an agile defensive game, working hard to dig tough balls and keep rallies alive.
My strengths include consistent attacking, strong serve receive, and agile defense. I stay positive under pressure and reset quickly after a lost point, keeping my focus on the next play and supporting my teammates.
I lead by example through my work ethic, energy, and determination. I give every play my full effort and never give up on a ball.
I worked hard to earn a spot on the U15 Canuck Stuff Volleyball Club team, where I played middle. At U16, I moved to right side hitter, and this season I’ve taken on the outside hitter position. Each transition has challenged me to learn and grow, and I continue working hard to develop my skills and contribute to my team.
I played middle for the U15 Canuck Stuff Volleyball Club and received the Heart and Hustle Award in my first year. At U16, I moved to right side hitter. This season, I’m playing outside hitter and made my school’s Senior Varsity girls team as a Grade 11 student, where I’m a regular starter.
Last season, my Canuck club team won AVA2 and finished fifth at Provincials. This season, my high school team finished first in the regular season, losing only one game.
