2. What position do you play? Libero/DS indoor and Right Side/Defender for Beach

4. Are you currently in or going to college? No.

7. Have you ever been injured while playing? No, thank God.       
8. Do you find it hard to be in a relationship while in season? While in college there was no time for a relationship for me, so I remained single. Now, yes. It takes a lot of dedication and balance, also currently single.

12. What position do you feel is the hardest to play? It's a toss up between the Setter and Outside hitter especially as a 6 rotational player.

16. Have you ever thought about quitting? No. That's never been an option.                    
17. How do you handle adversity? Think about it, process it, and control what I can control.
18. How do you handle feedback? Similar to how I handle adversity. I think about what I am capable of changing if it will benefit me and/or the team.
19. What is some advice you would give younger athletes? Take care of your body and your mental health. Stretch and use the time for recovery. Put good nutrients into your body so that it will think you. Form lasting friendships with your teammates, but also make sure you know and work towards your own personal journey. 


Wow after reading that we use to play against each other on top of you viewing me as your role model is a true blessing. Thank you Enjoli for answering and participating. Make sure you all follow her..... Twitter: @Enjee16 and Instagram: @Enji16

She told me about the CU Boulder volleyball camp I could attend to improve my skills. So my mom took me and I ended up being recruited by one of the top clubs in the state my freshman year in high school. God rest coach Schaffer’s fierce soul, she made such a difference. All that hard work coach Schaffer put in with me got the attention
