I grew up in Chicago and began playing volleyball at 1st Alliance/Lions Jrs when I was 12 years old through 18. I attended Mother McAuley High School, where I also played my entire high school career. After high school, I started my college career playing Division 1 volleyball at South Carolina State for 3 years and then just recently finished my last year of eligibility playing at Saint Xavier, competing at the NAIA level.

My primary goal is to encourage my athletes to enjoy everything that comes with the journey. Growth comes not only from our success but also from our failures, as identifying our failures fosters opportunities for improvement. I always ensure that the athlete is my primary focus and that I am doing everything I can to help them improve and be confident in their skills. I encourage my athletes to take ownership of their development. When athletes can recognize their mistakes, they become a lot more confident players and grow not only in their IQ, but also in their skills. My goal is to guide them through that process, while pushing them to be the best version of themselves.
