I was raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2013. At UNC, I received my BA in Business Administration and Sports Administration, while also playing on UNC's Varsity volleyball team.I currently reside in Dallas, TX with my family, where my passion for athletics led me to pursue a career in coaching volleyball, and strength & conditioning. I love helping develop young athletes both on and off the court- improving both their physical and mental game. I most recently worked for an elite DFW private school training their middle school and upper school athletes. I am always looking for more educational opportunities to learn new training and programming methods. Prior to this, I co-founded a non-profit that focused on athlete mental health awareness, and other problems facing athletics of all ages (athletic identity foreclosure, issues women face in sport, sport law, high drop-out rates of youth in sport).Before working in education, I have extensive experience in Investment Management/Finance, Administrative Support, Event Planning/Coordination, and other Non-Profit work. I currently give private lessons and have experience coaching volleyball in teams and individually to kids ages 8-18.
