Get To Know Serena

Greater heights

When I am in the States and have some time away from volleyball I enjoy some bouldering for some fun exercise. I make my friends join me, too.

social

Dance, dance, dance

I dance every day, I have to. I thought this photo was a good choice because I am not at a nightclub. 

social

Game time

I love visiting a brewery and playing some games.

social

Brain and brawn

I thought this showcased my brainy and athletic side pretty well.

social

Time for change

I love having free-will and changing my hair whenever I get bored!

social

Feline family

This is Mason, my daughter. Legally, I am not her mom but her mom doesn't feed her so she likes me more. I also have two other street cats I hang out with everyday--Gordido Dorito Crunch and Garfield.
