Besides volleyball, most of my time is spent…
Watching television. I have a lot of downtime living overseas, so watching American television shows and American sports fills a lot of that downtime.
One surprising thing about me is...
I’ve played in German-speaking countries for three years now and I still don’t know how to speak the language very well. I’ve tried to learn a little but the grammar is very difficult!
What skill I want to get better at (Non-volleyball)…
One thing I want to get better at is speaking German, so I can converse more with my teammates and people around the city.
Before volleyball I was into…
Baseball. My dad secretly wanted me to be a second baseman that batted left handed. I was scared of the ball and I’m right handed. Somehow I played til I was 12.
Three things I would take with me on a deserted island…
Sushi because it’s my favorite food, my phone because I’m addicted, and my sunglasses to shade my eyes!
People tell me I am good at…
Table tennis, because I swing and hit the ball hard like it’s tennis and I grunt like a tennis player.
Something I am horrible at…
Anything having to do with art. I have horrible handwriting and if I draw something it looks like a first grader drew it.
Something everyone else likes that I don’t understand...
Kale. People love it because it’s healthy but the bad taste outweighs the nutritional value for me.
