About Me

My Background

I was born and raised in Dripping Springs, Texas, and lived there most of my life before moving to Tempe to play Beach Volleyball for Arizona State. Coming from a family of athletes—my dad played basketball at UTSA, and my sister is a track athlete at Baylor—I was drawn to sports from an early age. I fell in love with beach volleyball during my freshman year of high school and knew right away it was the sport I wanted to pursue at the collegiate level.

My Passions

I'm deeply passionate about wellness, nutrition, and living a healthy lifestyle. I believe in nourishing my body with clean, natural products and making conscious choices that promote sustainability. For me, it’s not just about feeling good—it’s about aligning with a lifestyle that supports long-term health and a positive impact on the environment. I'm all about living in a way that keeps me feeling good, both physically and mentally. I try to make choices that set me up for long-term health and just help me feel my best every day.

My Faith

My faith is a huge reason why I am an athlete; it is where I draw my strength from and where I find purpose in what I do. I am heavily involved in an organization called FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) where student-athletes can gather to learn more about God through the lens of sports. Through FCA, I’ve been able to connect with like-minded individuals who share my passion for both faith and athletics. It’s a reminder that my purpose goes beyond the game and that my faith fuels my drive to be the best version of myself, on and off the field.

Living and Learning in Costa Rica

In 2015, my family moved to Costa Rica to live on the beach and take a gap year after my dad sold his business. We settled in Playa Flamingo, where my siblings and I attended an American-accredited school called CRIA. It was there that my passion for sustainability really began, as I grew more connected to the environment around me. I also learned to scuba dive, which not only fueled my love for the ocean but also sparked my interest in the Spanish language and traveling—two things that have since become a huge part of my life.
