Character

The award is given to student-athletes who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior.

She answers the call for any requests of her or her teammates, always going above and beyond.

She was able to manage the Brain Break Community Service Opportunities, which allows student-athletes to take a pause from athletics and academics in order to give back to the community.
