Coaching High School Volleyball
I enjoy coaching volleyball as I feel like I can make a difference in young women's futures. I coach at the club I played at since I was sixteen. I stay in contact with many of my pervious players, and their achievements. Coaching has been put on pause due to nursing school being top priority.
