I was introduced to volleyball in high school and fell in love with the game. I went on to play at Missouri Valley College, where I learned the balance of competition and personal growth. After college I started coaching, and I realized that I had a passion for helping kids achieve their goals, whether it be perfecting a fundamental skill or mastering a more complex volleyball skill. I am a big believer in building a team culture that values players taking risks and supporting each other. I have found that a nurturing approach to coaching seems to be the most effective. I am excited to join the Actyve team!
