Experience and Background 
  • 2023 is my first year coaching with Wisconsin Premier.

  • I began playing volleyball in eighth grade and played for four years at Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School. I am now a sophomore at Concordia University Wisconsin-Mequon and a player on the women’s volleyball team!

  • I played at Wisconsin Premier for all five years of my club experience (14 Black, 15 White, 16 White + 16 Teal, 17 Teal, and 18 Teal)!

  • I give private volleyball lessons as well as coaching camps and summer teams.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching approach is based on developing each person’s potential. I believe in an integrative approach to coaching that includes not only physical skills but also personal development, character development, and teamwork. As a coach, I aim to help athletes become the best versions of themselves, both on and off the court.

I value hard work, discipline, and dedication, while also establishing a positive and inclusive atmosphere. I passionately believe in defining and achieving meaningful goals, and I am devoted to providing my athletes with the direction and support they need to achieve them.

Personal Touch 

I will graduate from CUW-Mequon in (hopefully) the winter of 2025, with an undergraduate degree in Finance, as well as an MBA in Finance. I have 6 siblings (7 if you include my sister-in-law), so I value family time! I have an itch for traveling and my goal is to visit every national park before I turn 25!
