Recruitment Profile
Volleyball has provided a second family for me and a community that I can keep in touch with throughout New Zealand and around the world.
During my university life, I have realised the importance of maintaining my connection to the sport, with my teammates and the game providing balance in my academic and social lives.
Following my high school graduation, I was unsure whether I wanted to go overseas for volleyball. During the past year I have been exposed to some high level volleyball through my Volley Ferns involvement, which has highlighted to me how I would love to play overseas following my university graduation at the end of 2026. Although waiting until after my degree may have reduced the number of opportunities for me regarding overseas volleyball, I believe I am a more mature, well-rounded athlete who would have something to offer to teams overseas.
