FinalistBio
Hi there, I'm Kara Namimatsu! My goal throughout my life has been to pursue my sport of beach volleyball as far as I can take it and even one day represent the United States. Aside from beach volleyball, my professional goals are to one day start a business of my own in property management with an interest in commercial real estate. In my free time outside of training, I love going to the beach with friends, baking for my family, drawing, and coaching for my club and privately. I push at 100% in everything I do, whether it be athletics or in the classroom, and will continue to work even harder as I pursue D1 beach volleyball at the University of Southern California.
