I have a ton of gratitude for receiving the most incredible college experience. From 2007-2011 I was a part of an outstanding volleyball program at The College of Idaho. I earned a four-year captain position as a starting setter. Because of a talented team and coaching staff around me, I received All-Conference first team and All-Region honors.
During my collegiate years, our program went 100-29, winning 24 or more matches in all four seasons and competed in the NAIA national tournament three-straight years. Our team won and hosted the conference championship in each of our final three seasons. Along side my unforgettable college volleyball experience, I received a superior education with a Bachelor of Arts degree in physical education and minors in coaching and psychology.
I grew up in Eagle, Idaho, and led the volleyball team at Eagle High School to an undefeated season in 2007. I capped my high-school career by receiving State Player of the Year honors as a senior.
The game of volleyball has taken me all around the country. I coached high-school and club volleyball in my home state from 2011-2014. In 2014 I took my coaching experience to Austin, Texas. In 2016, I decided to pursue my dream of coaching collegiate volleyball and headed to Ohio where I was an assistant and served as the team’s strength-and-conditioning coach. In 2017, I was hired as the head indoor volleyball coach in LaGrange, Georgia at LaGrange College.
In 2017, LaGrange College welcomed me with open arms. LC named me as the 13th head indoor coach in program history. In 2020, LaGrange College started the first ever beach volleyball program. I was named head beach volleyball coach. Our indoor team qualified each year to compete in the conference tournament and tallied several conference honors each year. Our beach program was unfortunately cut short both years due to Covid-19 but everyone enjoyed the experience and chance to compete in the sand.
During my time at Marietta College and LaGrange College, recruiting was a major passion of mine. I loved connecting with parents and families. It was exciting to see athletes’ faces light up during the process. Those connections were extremely valuable, which I am very grateful for. Plus, I didn’t experience much guidance during my recruitment process. So, I knew I wanted to make a major difference for recruits and their families during my time as a collegiate coach.
NCSA is a wonderful platform for those who need assistance, guidance, and exposure. I am thrilled to provide an abundance of recruiting experience, knowledge, and genuine advice for our NCSA members and families.
