Favorite quote: “If they respect you, respect them.  If they don’t respect you, you still respect them.  Do not allow the actions of others to decrease your good manners because you represent yourself, not others.”

Susie’s most memorable volleyball moment happened when she won a Golden West League championship in 2013.  Her team finished with a record of 22-1 and went on to compete in a CIF Semi-Final game that same year.  Susie plans on transferring to a four year university after her career at Cypress College.
