Why UWF? "The reason I chose UWF volleyball program is due to the standards the players and coaches hold upon each other. The team culture is healthy with unconditional love. The staff shows extreme support in academics. Overall the program brought me in as if they've known me for years. There's never a day that goes by where you don't have a teammate or coach checking up on you. Academically, there are a lot of resources and numerous opportunities to be involved in my major. The campus ethnicity diversity is equalized."
