What is the biggest difference between competitive volleyball and recreational volleyball?

In competitive volleyball you need more skill to play. Recreational volleyball is more of just something for fun. Don't get me wrong, volleyball is always fun but you see better competition in competitive volleyball.

What are your goals for after ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ State?

I am hoping to get a good job in the medical field as a nurse. I really want to work in the operating room in a hospital.

Who has been your biggest influence?

I would have to say that my biggest influence lately is my coach because he is so determined about volleyball. He pushes me to be my best and work my hardest.

Which is more satisfying; hitting a killer spike or blocking a spike?

I'm not going to lie, killing the ball is mad fun but when you block someone you just want to shove it in their face that you blocked them.

What attracted you the most to ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ State?

The great nursing program.

What is the best gift you have ever received? When?

The best gift I have ever received was from my best friend for my birthday. She made me a huge card that said "A big kid deserves a big birthday card. Happy Birthday Em!" Then she gave me two huge bottles of Arnold Palmer drink.

Name 3 people, past or present, that you would like to meet?

Kerri Walsh, Misty May Treanor, & Tyra Banks
