August 12, 2024 -

"I am thrilled to announce that I have verbally committed to play D1 volleyball at Tennessee State University to continue my academic and athletic career! First and foremost, I want to thank God for allowing me to play the sport that I love. I'd also like to express my deepest gratitude to my mom, @fancee6, for her unwavering dedication, sacrifice, and support. She has been my biggest cheerleader throughout my entire journey, and I wouldn't be the player or person I am today without her. Special thanks to Antonela Suzuki, @axsuzuki @ehvolleyball for introducing me to club volleyball and being an incredible coach since I was 11 years old. I am also grateful to all my family, friends, coaches, and teammates who have supported me along the way. Finally, I want to thank Coach Sutton and Coach Cockrill for giving me the opportunity to learn from them and play for their program. I can't wait to see what the future holds, and GO TIGERS!" @tsutigersvb

Congratulations, we are super proud of you!
