I have been coaching & fine tuning the sport of volleyball since I was about 17-18 years old. I have coached all ages with USA Beach Volleyball & OVA from 10 & under all the way up to 18 & under both girls & boys. I am currently registered as an AAU coach & a member of USAV. I am IMPACT and Safe Sport certified.

I have been playing indoor volleyball since 6th grade, played varsity all throughout high school at Winter Park in Orlando. After senior year I earned a full ride scholarship to play at Broward College as an OH then shortly after my first year, transferred to the Division 2-Saint Leo Univ. as a Libero/Defensive specialist & also where I started getting into beach volleyball more than ever. Before starting my junior year I noticed beach was just becoming a sport and sent film to coaches. FIU then shortly offered me a scholarship for my junior year as a D1 beach athlete. Incredible season finishing 3rd at the AVCA Nationals beach tournament to end a solid junior year. Moved onto going out senior year with a bang as I played Libero/OH on the indoor team finishing 5th in conference for the year. Onto beach yet again in the spring, fought tough the whole year with all the lady panthers to get into the AVCA Nationals once again but falling short in the first round of the tournament. I then made the move to California to pursue the pro circuit. I made the under 26 USA beach volleyball team elite 8 and trained all summer. Played & qualified for both NVL & AVP events (pro tours) domestically. Currently living in Florida training with my sister to hit the beach volleyball pro circuit domestically & internationally.
