“In the pro world, everybody has their thing of why they play overseas,” she said.

“My thing is I love it, it’s volleyball, it’s something that I know. But also, I’m really close with my family, and I’m a homebody for the most part. I love to travel, but it’s a difference when you’re out of the country for eight months out of the year.

It was always my dream to start playing in the States. When this started, I was ecstatic. It was like, ‘This is all I’ve ever wanted,’ so it was a no-brainer. So I wanted to reach out and see if I could be a part of it.”
