My teammates

Sick photo in general, but the meaning behind this is so special to me. My teammates. The girls pictured in the back of the photo are who I’m hyping up. This moment was when we beat Brazil at Brazil, which is always hard to do.. and well, we just have each other’s backs and I’m so grateful for the bonds we share.

social

Lyrically Speaking

I love music to my core. Music connects us and gives my life. You know the people who get chills when they hear a great voice or their fav song? That’s me.

social

Feline Friendly

I love my cat and he’s the best. Just love animals. Big love for them.

social

Starting Out

It’s just sick cause I look at that when I’m feeling down or out about my play or job.. I remember why I do it and who I do it for… ME

social

Being barefoot

I love the SUN. Being outside is something my job doesn’t allow me to do, but I like being barefoot and in the sun ☀️

social

Fit Life

I like expressing myself through my fits. For example, here was a fall fit. Everything I wear needs to be functional. I like comfort and using the rule of thirds mostly…

social

Love

Two things I love. The sun and volley 🤍

social

In the Moment

Music once again breeds singing and dancing for me. Catch me belting lyrics and dancing all the time. Two big joys of mine
