Playing Experience:

- Player all through junior high and high school (10 years). I was team captain my junior and senior years of high school and was a varsity starter all for years.

-Today I continue to play in recreational outdoor and indoor tournaments wherever and whenever I can.

Coaching Experience:

- Before moving to Columbus in the summer of 2023, I was the head coach of 16&17 American, and assistant at 14 American teams for the past two and a half years at a club in Pittsburgh, PA. During those two years, I secured multiple tournament wins in OVR and KRVA region tournaments.

-The 2024-2025 season will be my second year at Buckeye!

- I was a student assistant for my college team at Washington and Jefferson College while I was injured during my junior year season.

Info About Me:

I graduated from Washington and Jefferson College in 2023 with a Bachelors in Political Science/Pre-Law and Spanish. I am actively attending Capital University Law School to obtain my Juris Doctorate.

Being in the gym is the one thing that brings joy and happiness to me when my academic and professional life gets stressful. I have a passion for the game of volleyball, and to teach the game. Any excuse to continue to be in a gym even after my playing career has ended is a win, and that is why I chose to enter the coaching world.
