Additional Information

I have played volleyball my entire life. I also played volleyball in college at a D-2 level for 4 years. My sophomore year of high school, at River View, I was on the Final 4 team and followed that up by making it to the Elite 8 my junior year and Sweet 16 my senior year of high school. Volleyball is my passion, I love the competitive spirit it brings out, sense of accomplishment, and the love of the game I get to share with my players!
