🏐 Rev Hype Squad Coach | Beloit College & Bethel University Alumni

I was born and raised in Valparaiso, Indiana, and I began my volleyball career in sixth grade—falling in love with the game right away. During my junior year of high school, my team finished the season 34–0 and won every regular-season tournament. I earned All-Tournament Team honors during both my junior and senior seasons and competed on an elite club team that captured multiple championships.

I continued my volleyball career at the collegiate level, starting at Beloit College and finishing at Bethel University. I played every position except libero, with my primary role as a pin hitter.

Outside of volleyball, I also competed in track and field. I graduated from Bethel University with a Bachelor’s degree in Health & Physical Education and have been teaching for over four years. I currently teach at Westview High School, where I also serve as the Varsity Head Volleyball Coach.

In addition, I have spent the past four years as a club coach and co-director, and I currently coach with AZ Hype/Revolution. I have also been running private lessons for the past six years, training athletes ages 10–18 across all positions beginner to advanced.

Athletics have played a major role in my life, which is what inspired me to pursue coaching. I have over five years of coaching experience and have led three teams to conference championships winning two of those titles. My goal as a coach is to motivate, encourage, and challenge young athletes to reach their full potential both on and off the court.
