Bio
Get to know Jaliya …
Why Kansas?
I chose Kansas because it’s my home state and I got to know the coaches really well. They were one of my first offers and we built a really good connection and I’m excited to build something here.
How would you describe your playing style?
I would say I play with a lot of energy, I’m really fast off my feet. I’m a really good team player. I look up to my teammates and just like to play with the people around me.
Who is your role model?
My role model is my mom. She’s always been there for me, since the beginning obviously, and she works really hard every single day to help us and is just a really good role model.
Do you have any hidden talents?
I like to draw and color a lot when I’m bored so I think that’s probably one of my good hidden talents.
What else should we know about you?
One thing people might not know about me is I’m part Dutch. My mom is from the Netherlands and she moved here around 20 years ago.
