Born in Bakersfield, California and moved to Diana, Texas when I was 5. Started playing club volleyball for East Texas Juniors when I was 9 years old and finished out my last 2 years of club playing for Mad Frog Volleyball out of Tyler, Texas. In High School, helped lead the Lady Eagles go 135-27 in her four seasons, appearing in the regional tournament three-straight seasons for the first time in school history. Also helped the Lady Eagles finish as a top-10 program in those three campaigns in four years, accumulated 1,420 digs, 310 aces, 308 kills and 634 assists in a total of 494 sets played. Racked up numerous individual honors, including being named All-East Texas Honorable Mention four times, and First Team All-District three times. Earned a number of District player of the week honors. Capped her high school career by receiving Texas Girls Coaches Association (TGCA) First-Team All-State honors her senior season. Was twice named to all-tournament teams during her final year. Earned TGCA Academic All-District honors all four years, with a TGCA Academic All-State nod in 2013. Played one year at Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas before accepting an offer to play in the SEC for Mississippi State University for 3 years. Started in 80 matches and had 703 career total digs, 71 Assists, and 51 Aces playing as a Libero/ Defensive Specialist. Was placed on the Academic All-SEC all 3 years and graduated in 2017 with an Exercise Science degree while being active in Fellowship of Christian Athletes and M-Club Mission Volunteering. Shortly after graduation, I coached an East Texas Juniors 13’s team before I moved to Austin, Texas to pursue my career as an Exercise Physiologist in Cardiac Rehab. Recently went back to Nursing School and graduated in April 2020 and now working in theNeonatal ICU at St. David’s Women’s Center of Texas In North Austin. Working with kids whether that be in healthcare or coaching the game of volleyball is one of my passions. When I am not coaching or working, my hobbies are playing beach volleyball, working out, hiking with my dogs, trying out new restaurants, or paddle boarding the river.
