Noctiluca: How were you introduced to volleyball?

N: Who are some volleyball players you look up to?

J: Some volleyball players I look up to are my friends Maddy Ahrens and Hope Werch. Maddy has a work ethic and drive that I will always look up to. She is always looking to push other people to be the best they can be. Hope Werch is the star of the Neenah volleyball team and one of my best friends. She has an incredible attitude and is the most competitive person I know.  

N: What are some of your aspirations in volleyball?

J: Some of my aspirations and goals I have for the high school season is winning conference and hopefully making it back to the state tournament. For my future plans, I am hoping to attend a four year college playing competitive volleyball at a high level.

N: How do you plan on achieving these goals?

J: I plan on achieving these goals by staying focused and giving 100% every day. I won’t ever take my sport for granted because I never know when I won’t be able to play anymore. The girls’ volleyball team will work hard on staying consistent and making this season count. If we play as a family, we will win as one.
