What makes Volleyball your favourite sport?

I would have to say being able to play as a team and being able to give as much energy as possible

On court I'm known for…

My energy, quickness, and positive feedback

My favourite city to play Volleyball is…

Corozal, Puerto Rico ... Vamos Pinkin

My team mates call me…

Avi(short for Avitar), Go Go Gadget, Dee, D-Money, D-Cash, and many more :)

Do you have a lucky charm? What is it?

Not exactly a charm but I write on my finger tape before every match. Each hand says something different but most importantly my family, boyfriend (Steven) and of course God are all involved. Back of my left hand says "33 MOM and 44 DAD and the inside reads GOD BLESS". The back of my right hand says "21 VET and 13 STEVE while on the inside it reads a bible verse and the word ENJOY"

The best day in my life was…

Was signing my letter to the University of Texas at Austin

I am a FIVB Hero because…

When the chips are down I am right there to give energy and fight with and for my team until the last ball falls

FIVB Heroes

This is volleyball
