2nd year coaching with Surge! I was first introduced to the game of volleyball after moving to Lincoln, Nebraska.  Growing up watching the Huskers sparked a lifelong love for the sport that has lasted over 20 years. As a multi-sport athlete, I played volleyball in the fall and baseball in the spring and summer, but volleyball quickly became my true passion.Later, when I moved to Maryland, I began playing competitively in adult leagues, further sharpening my skills and understanding of the game. Today, I still play, but my heart is shifting toward coaching. I believe my purpose now is to teach and develop young athletes—not only to succeed on the court but to grow as confident, resilient individuals off the court as well.
