2024 - All State Academic

I am a young Senior (DOB 9/30/2007) at Cherry Creek High School in Colorado in the Denver Metro Area. As a starting Varsity setter I hold the all time ace record in a season for CCHS, and I am an All-State, All-League, and Academic All-State player.

As an international player and member of the U17 Spain Women's National Volleyball team, I received the Best Setter Award in the 2023 second round of the CEV European Championship in Lille, France. I have also competed in the WEVZA qualifier for the European Championship as part of the U18 Spain Women's National Team in early 2024.

In club, I have played for Colorado Juniors for three seasons, and one season for CVA and Elevation, competing in the Open division on a national level, and medaling 3rd place at USAV GJNC in 2022. For the upcoming 2025  club season I am honored to join the Elevation Volleyball 18-1 team where I will continue to learn and improve my game with the help of some of the best players and coaches in Colorado.

I consider myself to be a highly competitive and extremely coachable athlete. I hate to lose more than I love to win, and I am a demanding but extremely supportive and caring leader in the teams I am a part of. I am no stranger to hard work and I like to lead by example, putting in the time inside and outside of practice, always working as hard and smart as I can in every aspect of the game: technical, physical, mental, and tactical.
​
Volleyball is my passion. I like to be challenged and I am constantly striving to become the best setter, teammate, and leader I can possibly be, whether that is at practice, during competition, building team relationships outside of the gym, cheering my heart out from the bench, or leaving it all out on the court. I want to continue to improve and become the best possible version of myself surrounded by players that are better than me. I enjoy the game, I enjoy winning and I don’t keep it a secret, and I absolutely love the friendships made along the way.
