PERSONAL
Full name: Cassandra Jane Dodd, prefers Cassie … born in Subiaco, Australia … her parents are Sarah and Peter Dodd … has an older sister, Samantha … greatest athletic thrill was, "Being the pair to clinch the Southland Conference title for Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi in the 2024 season. We lost the first set but then managed to come back and win in three sets." … lists Australian former professional tennis player and cricketer, Ashleigh Barty as the athlete she admires most … lists reading and painting by numbers as things she likes to do in her spare time … chose UCLA, "Because of the connection I made with the coaches initially whilst on call was a big factor, with all of us seemingly having the same drive and aspirations. They have developed a top level beach volleyball program which I believe will help me be able to achieve my goal of becoming an Olympian. UCLA also offers a highly competitive political science degree which is the career field I am interested in pursuing." … majoring in political science.
