About Me:
A little bit about me...
I am a proud Michigan native and a graduate of The Ohio State University, holding a degree in Education with a major in Sports Industry. During my time at Ohio State, I excelled as a student-athlete, making significant contributions to our team's success in reaching the NCAA tournament and advancing to the Sweet Sixteen for two consecutive years. As a middle blocker, I played a pivotal role in our team's performance. I was also asked to join the USA collegiate national team. Where I trained on campus at Colorado Springs.
Prior to my time at Ohio State, I attended Middle Tennessee State University for three years, earning recognition as an AVCA All-American Honorable Mention during that period. Post-graduation, I pursued a professional volleyball career, playing in Denmark, Israel, Germany, and participating in a two-week tour in Japan.
How I can help you improve your game:
Consistency is key, If blocking is something you want to get better at.. we will start with footwork, then practicing do ing different drills consistently and watching film.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
When I train my athletes we always start with a dynamic warm up, agility drills and the position specific training.
Career summary and accomplishments:
My coaching journey includes stints at the freshman, JV, and Varsity levels in various high schools, where I imparted my knowledge and passion for the game. I have also dedicated several years to coaching camps, refining my ability to nurture talent at all skill levels.
Best coach I ever had:
My best coach was my AAU coach and that was because he taught me about the game, we would have team practices 4-5 days a week for 4 hours a day. He taught me the importance of having a strong work ethic and to show up and work hard, no matter what.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
If you are willing to show up and work hard consistently, I will do my best to help you achieve your goals and push you to be the best version of yourself on and off the court.

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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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 collegiate and professional 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 and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
