Guest Bio -  I grew up in Newport Beach, CA as the youngest of four children. I played a lot of different sports growing up and didn’t think volleyball was in the cards for me, but when I played for the first time I instantly fell in love with it and knew I’d be playing for a very long time. I now play volleyball at Stanford University where I’m studying Human Biology. I will be returning for a 5th season at Stanford, then hope to play professional volleyball overseas starting in January! Aside from volleyball, my passions include travel, cooking, reading, and nutrition.
