Why I Coach
I have played volleyball for the last 13 years of my life and with each year, my love for the game has grown. There has yet to be anything better than to play the game that I’m so passionate about right beside my best friends. In my volleyball career, I have learned a tremendous amount about volleyball, the game itself, but also about life. Exciting experiences of friendships, respect, teamwork, responsibility, leadership, passion, work ethic and selflessness have come from my volleyball career. I hope that my team will come away from this season with more than just volleyball skills. I’m excited to be back on the court!
Personal Profile
24 years old
Background: attended Holy Cross High School and Hanover College (IN)
Occupation: 2nd Grade Teacher at Shirley Mann Elementary
Family and friends mean the world to me. I'm the youngest of three and a recent, proud aunt of two nephews. I like to workout, relax with friends and family, and play with my nephews.
Volleyball experience:
I have played volleyball since I was in 5th grade at St. Joseph in Crescent Springs. I played for NKYVC from age 13-16. We were the first “Team Tsunami” and we made it to Nationals in Salt Lake City, UT. That was one experience I will never forget. I played all through high school and college as a defensive specialist/libero. Volleyball has always been a big part of my life and I wish I could still be playing.
