It's hard to put into words what Tulsa Volleyball means to me. These past five years have brought me some of the most amazing memories and friendships. From being able to travel all over the country, and even to the other side of the world, I have been able to do amazing things with amazing people while competing in the sport that I love. It has pushed me past my limits and has made me a stronger person. I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to wear Tulsa across my chest and I know I am going to miss it so much. Being a student athlete is the most challenging but rewarding experience that I will probably ever have, and I am so glad I was able to do it here. I am thankful for my coaches that saw the potential in me that I would've never seen in myself. This program has changed my life and pushed me to be the best version of myself. I am excited to see where this program continues to go and I will always be a proud alum of Tulsa Volleyball.

I am so grateful for this program and for Tulsa Volleyball, it has challenged me and pushed me in all aspects of my life. To my coaches, thank you for challenging me to be a better player on the court, and for believing in me when I first started. To my teammates, thank you for always pushing me on and off the court. And to this program, thank you for the incredible memories I will truly cherish for the rest of my life. I am truly honored to be able to represent the city of Tulsa across my chest when we compete- that is something that is important to me, and with each year I take more pride in representing this city! I cannot thank TUVB enough for the impact it has had on my life. The coaches, teammates, and community are so special and important to me.

Being a part of this program has meant just about everything to me. Being able to play the sport I love everyday has been nothing short of amazing. The relationships I have built, experiences I have had, lessons I have learned, and things I have discovered about myself have been truly invaluable. I will be forever grateful to be part of a program that cultivated such amazing friendships that extend so far beyond the volleyball court. Tulsa volleyball will forever hold a special place in my heart and has given me memories that will last a lifetime. To be a part of something greater than myself with teammates and coaches who I know would do anything for me has not only brought me so much happiness but has also taught me the importance of having a community which values every single individual. I can not thank my coaches and teammates enough for making the past four years so amazing; I truly could not imagine being a part of any other team. The things I've learned and relationships I've built here will stay with me far longer than four years.

The first word that came to my mind when I thought of my time here at Tulsa and being a part of the volleyball program is: Thankful. Thankful that I had the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than myself, thankful that I was challenged every day, thankful I was able to continue playing the sport I love, and thankful for such caring coaches and teammates. These last four years have been some of the hardest, yet most rewarding years of my life. The lessons I have learned from being in this program are lessons that have helped shape me into the person I am today and are lessons I will carry on for the rest of my life. This program has also allowed me to create some of my fondest memories with people who will always hold a special place in my heart. I have nothing but respect for the Tulsa Volleyball Program and I am so thankful I was able to be a part of it for this short period of my life. I would not change it for the world.

It is hard and somewhat impossible to try and put into words what the past few years in the US and in Tulsa have meant for me. These years have been the most challenging, yet the most rewarding, and when I look back at my experience here at Tulsa, all I can be is grateful. I would not be the person, athlete and teammate I am today if it weren't for all the ups and downs I have experienced. I am thankful for the coaching staff for giving me the opportunity to represent the university, and wear Tulsa across my chest, while pushing me to be the best volleyball player, and most importantly the best person I can possibly be. The volleyball program will always be very special to me, thank you coaches.
While at Tulsa, I have gotten to work with an amazing strength and conditioning staff, as well as a great group of trainers. A special thank you to Chris, Kelly and Maria, for the big positive impact you have had on my experience at TU.
The biggest thank you goes out to all of my teammates I have played with during my time here in Tulsa. Each and every single one of you will always have a special place in my heart, and I will cherish the relationships we have built for the rest of my life. I have learned so much from all of you, and I will miss you incredibly much. I have met some of the most amazing people who have never failed to make Tulsa feel like home.
Thank you Tulsa volleyball, I am excited for the next chapter and I can't wait to see where life takes me in this amazing sport.
Tulsa is currently 14-14 overall, and 9-10 in conference play.
