Born and raised in Long Beach, California and started playing volleyball competitively at the age of 14. I have been around volleyball since I was kid, everyone in my family plays volleyball. I started playing club when I was fifteen years old at Akamai Volleyball club and ended my club playing with Highline Volleyball club. I went to high school at Long Beach Poly and played volleyball all four years on varsity. From high school I continued my pursuit of my dream of playing volleyball in college as well as getting my degree. I went on to play and attend Long Beach City College, then transferred to GoldenWest college where I was recruited from to play at HIU. All my years at HIU I was a starter and contributed many great things to the team and program. I am now finishing my degree up with a major in Social Science while pursuing my coaching career
