I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and started playing volleyball when I was 11 years old. It quickly became my favorite sport, and I knew I wanted to pursue playing at the highest level possible. Along the way to achieving my goal, I was able to be a part of some amazing programs and had incredible coaches as mentors.
Growing up, I played club volleyball for Manhattan Beach Surf and through my career achieved three 5th place finishes and one Bronze medal at Nationals. I was also a team member of the USA Beach Volleyball National pipeline through high school and competed in multiple international tournaments including the 2014 Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China and the 2013 & 2014 World Championships in Porto, Portugal. I went on to play 5 years of collegiate volleyball at Long Beach State where I was coached by former Olympic coaches and players who helped us win back to back NCAA D1 National Championships in 2018 & 2019. After college I moved to Denmark to play professionally and had reached my goal of being apart of the pinnacle of the sport that I love.
After playing overseas, I moved to Chicago where I was the volunteer Assistant Coach for Northwestern University for the 2021 & 2022 season. Through this relationship, I became a part of MOD! I coached with MOD for one season before continuing to a full-time club role with Mission Volleyball as their Director of Operations from 2022-2024.
I am very excited to be back at MOD and can’t wait to hit the ground running! I have been coaching for 10+ years and have helped many athletes accomplish their dreams to play collegiate volleyball at every level. I believe my passion for the game and high-level knowledge will continue to push the MOD programming forward to its most competitive seasons yet!
