Volleyball

I graduated from Tarkington High School in 2013, where I took my team to the State Tournament my junior and senior year as a middle blocker. In high school I was awarded 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A Player of the Year in the state of Texas. I was also named District MVP 2011 and 2012, Allstate 2011 and 2012, and Region Tournament MVP 2011 and 2012, and also 1st team MaxPreps All American 2012. 

After High School I continued my volleyball career at Blinn College as an outside hitter on a full ride scholarship. There I won 2 NJCAA National Championships and was awarded Region 14 Honorable Mention in 2013 and 2014. I then transferred to the University of Central Arkansas at a Division 1 school to continue my last two years of my volleyball career. I graduated in August 2017 with my degree in Health Science. 

This is my 7th year coaching as a Head Volleyball Coach. I have coached girls ages 13-17's.
