One word that describes the team: Dogs (in a good way)
One word that describes me: Steady
What is the best thing you bring to the team? My ability to make my teammates feel calm in high pressure situations
Favorite thing to do off the court with my teammates is: go to the lake or have porch nights with Danielle and her roommates! We usually grill out, listen to music, and tell stories around their firepit.
Most memorable volleyball achievement: Going to the Final Four my sophomore year at Baylor and earning Big12 Libero of the year in 2020
Is there anything significant about your uniform number? “Chanel number five” is a joke I hear often so I decided to stick with it for possible NIL opportunities and marketing promotions
The best thing about the Field House is: the people who fill it! Their dedication and love for the sport we have played most of our lives does not go unappreciated

What does it mean to be a Badger?
"Being a Badger means to bring your best every day with whatever task is at hand. Your teammates, coaches, and others are doing the same, so you all build off of each other’s consistency and drive. It means being a reliable and trustworthy teammate who helps build their teammates up on and off the court.
