Former D1 beach captain, 2nd most wins at GCU, All-Conference, dedicated coach!
I’m a recently graduated Division 1 beach volleyball player from GCU, where I was a 3-year team captain and finished with the second-most wins in program history. I played in the NCAA National Tournament twice. I earned All-Conference honors and the AVCA Top Flight Award, reflecting both performance and consistency at a high level. Beyond competing, I’ve coached with RPM, school camps, and P1440 clinics, working with athletes of different ages and skill levels. As a coach, I bring a responsible, flexible, and athlete-focused approach. I’m committed to helping players improve their technique, confidence, and game IQ while creating a positive environment tailored to their goals.

About Me:
I have my Undergraduate and Masters degree in education! I’ve played volleyball since 5th grade and continued my education journey through college while playing D1 Beach Volleyball for 5 years.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve by keeping things simple and focused on what actually works. I break down the fundamentals: passing, setting, serving, defense, so players can build consistency and feel confident in game situations.
I adjust how I coach based on the athlete, whether they’re just starting or already competing, and focus on helping them get better every session. I also emphasize communication, court awareness, and mental toughness because those are what really separate players.
My style is supportive but still pushes you. I want athletes to feel comfortable, but also challenged, so they leave each session better than when they showed up.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session with me starts with a quick warm-up and ball control to get touches and rhythm. From there, we focus on a few key skills like passing, serving, or defense…breaking them down and repping them out so they become consistent.
Then we move into more game-like drills where you’re making decisions, communicating, and applying those skills under pressure. I’ll give feedback throughout, but keep it simple so you can actually use it.
We usually finish with competitive play or situational reps, so you leave feeling challenged and confident in what you worked on.
Career summary and accomplishments:

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former college and pro athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
