I’m a 22-year-old volleyball trainer from Wheaton, Illinois, and a former collegiate setter at Michigan State University. While I specialize in setting, I’m confident coaching all aspects of the game. I’m passionate about helping players develop their skills, build confidence, and reach their full potential, drawing on both my experience on the court and my love for the game. Currently, I’m pursuing my Master’s in Speech Pathology at Elmhurst University, balancing my academic growth with my dedication to coaching.

I believe in an athlete centered approach to coaching where every player’s goals, strengths, and learning style guide how I train them. My experience as a collegiate setter taught me the importance of communication, teamwork, and confidence on the court, and I bring those lessons to every session. I want athletes to feel empowered, knowing that their effort, curiosity, and growth matter just as much as winning games. By creating a supportive environment where mistakes are part of learning, I help players build skills, trust themselves, and gain confidence in their abilities. My goal is for every athlete I work with to leave each session stronger, smarter, and inspired to keep improving.

During my time at Michigan State, both campers and athletes in private lessons consistently expressed their appreciation for my coaching style. They highlighted my ability to relate to players, share my personal experiences, and teach in a way that is athlete focused. Many mentioned that my approach made them feel heard, supported, and motivated to improve, and that I was able to break down skills in a way that was both clear and encouraging. I take pride in creating an environment where athletes feel confident to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow.
