Interview

What makes you different

I don’t think that I have many things that make me different, but I have a very specific sense of humor, which manages to alleviate the pressure from my teammates…If the mood remains until the end of the match, depends on the opposite team.
Why do you want to compete in college?

The American university for me is a place where I can develop both my education and volleyball skills at one and the same time on the highest level. It will be a challenge to adapt myself smoothly to all obstacles that appear before me: the new faces that I will meet; the new places that I will visit; the expectations that will arise in front of me.

Volleyball and life Goals?

After graduating university I want to have the freedom to choose the path that I will take - a successful volleyball player or to work in a field that interests me.
