Zjandréa De Jesus
Born on February 14, 2002, Zjandréa De Jesus discovered her passion for volleyball at a
young age by watching her mother and other family members play. What began as simple
curiosity quickly turned into dedication, as she spent countless hours playing volleyball on
the road and over neighbors’ fences, using anything available as a net.
At age 9, Zjandréa joined her first volleyball team as an outside hitter, quickly becoming
known for her aggressive attacking style and her personal motto: “Attack everything.” Over
time, she developed into a versatile, all-around player, gaining experience as an outside
hitter, opposite hitter, middle blocker, and setter. Her commitment and leadership
eventually earned her the role of team captain.
Volleyball became more than a sport—it became her escape from life. Through the game,
she found strength and purpose, using every training session and match as a way to
express herself both emotionally and physically.
Throughout her playing career, Zjandréa competed across the Caribbean, traveling to Saint
Martin, Antigua and Barbuda, and Curaçao for volleyball competitions and tournaments.
She also made her mark in beach volleyball, earning second place in Curaçao and first
place in St. Eustatius.
In 2025, Zjandréa took the next step in her volleyball journey by accepting the position of
assistant coach for a teen male team in St. Eustatius, continuing to expand her knowledge,
leadership, and impact within the sport. She is currently an active player competing in
Curaçao at the superior level.
