When not playing sports you will find me: Being outside going on adventures, dancing, listening to music or riding my skateboard
Why did you choose Lakeland? I loved the atmosphere and the coaches and the players of the volleyball team!
Something people may not know about you: I have been dancing since I was three and I can probably tell you/sing any song from the 60s to now. I also love to ride skateboards.
