Hello, my name is Ciani Williams, but a lot of my friends call me Cici! I’ve been playing volleyball for 7 years and I’ve been a varsity athlete all four years of high school. I chose Mount Mary University due to its proximity to my hometown and because it gave me an opportunity to pursue my dream of becoming a collegiate athlete after suffering an ACL and meniscus tear right before my senior year of high school. During my first year at Mount Mary I’ve been able to participate in several volunteer events including packing meals at our local church (https://foxriverchristian.org/meal-packing/), reading to local elementary school students about sports and body positivity, and hosting two special Olympics sponsored events (https://www.instagram.com/p/DXvP-7AHwdK/?img_index=2&igsh=MWk1eGN5Nzh5MzdpYQ==).
