Athletic Background
Summary of Career and Accomplishments
I played 3 years on varsity in high school and 3 years at the University of Central Florida. With eight years of volleyball coaching experience, I have trained athletes ranging from young children to college athletes, focusing on skill development, teamwork, and game strategy. My academic pursuit of a Bachelor of Science in Psychology has also strengthened my understanding of sports psychology, motivation, and athlete performance. My passion lies in working with young athletes, helping them develop on and off the court through structured, engaging, and effective training.
Who is the best coach you ever had and why?
The best coach I ever had was the lady I ended up working with for years, Ellie Marshall—very knowledgeable about the game, and much more importantly a very kind human being. My ideology is that you can have the best coach in the world but if they treat you poorly what's the benefit? Ellie has so much knowledge of the game and a kind heart, she's who I molded my coaching style after.
What should athletes and parents know about you?
I love volleyball, I want nothing more than to help and inspire other kids and young adults to chase the dreams they want to achieve.
Coaching Background
Summary of Coaching Background
With eight years of coaching experience, I’ve worked with athletes from ages 5 to 25, ranging from beginners to USA beach volleyball professionals, helping them build strong fundamentals, confidence, and a love for the game.
How can you help someone improve their game?
In organized volleyball, I have played every position and have extensive knowledge of all positions and game strategies, so no matter what position you play I can help you! I will also get to know each athlete personally, what are your strengths/weaknesses, what drills work best for you, and what you want to accomplish through training with me.
What does a typical training session look like?
Warm-up & Mobility (10 min) – Light jogging, dynamic stretches, and volleyball-specific warm-ups.
Fundamental Skills (15 min) – Focused drills on passing, setting, serving, and hitting, based on the player's needs.
Game Situations & Strategy (25 min) – Position-specific training, small-sided gameplay, and tactical decision-making. (Skills specific to what the player wants to improve on).
Conditioning & Strength (10 min) – Volleyball-specific agility, footwork, and explosive movement drills.
