Katarina’s Journey from Serbia to the US to the UK
Initially, my plan after college was to stay in the USA and get my master’s degree. I was looking for Graduate Assistant positions because I could not imagine my life without volleyball. I was supposed to graduate in December 2017 so I started planning my future already in August.

If you don’t want to grow up yet, but want to keep moving forward in your life, going to England through TeamGLEAS should be at the top of your list.
