I have been playing for the C.W. Post volleyball team for two and a half years.
What was your first impression of Post?
The first thing I noticed about Post was the beautiful campus and how welcoming everyone was. I knew that I would be challenged both academically and athletically, and this was where I wanted to complete my education.
How do you feel about Post now?
Now, I know that Post will always have a special place in my heart. I have developed a family here and will always be able to come back and feel at home.
What lesson(s) will you take from Post?
Being here at Post, I have learned the power of determination and hard work. I have learned that as long as I set my mind to a goal, I can achieve what I want, as long as I have the heart and mindset to complete it.
What is the best memory you have with the team?
My best memory was making it to the NCAA Regional Tournament in 2010. This was the farthest we have ever gotten in the playoffs, and it was a great accomplishment, as a team, to finish fifth in the NCAA Division II East Region.
What do you want to do after you graduate from Post?
After graduation, I plan on attending law school and studying corporate law.

I am going to miss my teammates and being part of the C.W. Post volleyball team.
