Playing Background
My passion for volleyball began at 16 when I started competing with Warren Six Pack. I initially played outside and was soon transitioned to middle blocker before transitioning to a setter—a position that deepened my love for the game. Volleyball has been a constant in my life ever since, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to now share this passion with the next generation of players.
As a youth, I competed in numerous A and AA tournaments through GEVA, achieving significant success. I traveled to Nationals in Orlando, Virginia, and San Jose, gaining invaluable experience on a national stage. My college years at Rutgers were equally exciting, where my club team earned a 3rd-place finish in Nevada and a 6th-place finish in Kansas City.
As an adult, I’ve continued to play at a high level, competing at Nationals in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, and Orlando, with my best finish being 6th in the A division. Volleyball has shaped my life in countless ways, and I’m passionate about passing on that same joy and dedication to the young athletes I coach.
