My first experience with volleyball was when I was 4 and my parents played on a team in our neighborhood league in West Milford, New Jersey. All the kids would go down to the court on the lake and watch our parents play volleyball while we built sandcastles. Volleyball was not a sport that was played at a young age in New Jersey during the late-1980s so when we moved to Dallas in 1993 I was so excited to get my first chance to play and I continued to play for the next 10 years. I played at St. Mark in Plano, for a Club team and at Ursuline Academy until 1999 when we moved to Atlanta, Georgia. There I joined Cobb Atlanta Juniors Volleyball Club and played Varsity at Walker High School. I decided to go to Miami University instead of playing in college. I worked for the varsity volleyball team at Miami my first year, traveling with them on the road and tracking all of the stats and I also played a lot of intramural indoor and outdoor volleyball while at Miami. To this day I still have an incredible love for volleyball and am always up for a game. I am a firm believer that no matter your height or your natural talent, if you work hard enough on the fundamentals and are always willing to sacrifice your body for the ball, you can be an incredible player and major asset to your team. I am really looking forward to getting back into the volleyball life and helping young girls enjoy the sport as much as I did.
