- Why did you choose to become a Bulldog student-athlete?: I always knew I wanted to play volleyball at the collegiate level. When I was given the chance to visit Redlands and meet the coaches, I knew instantly Redlands was where I wanted to be. I absolutely fell in love with everything about it, the campus, the coaches, and the atmosphere. I felt it was perfect for me and exactly the type of school I was looking for. It checked all my boxes, and I am so incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to play at the next level.
