“ I am beyond excited to start a new chapter in North Carolina and with Carolina Juniors. I believe volleyball is a life sport and I am so thankful for the opportunity to coach it. The relationships, experiences and memories that this sport has blessed me with are priceless. Coaching is a role that I highly value as it allows me to give athletes the same opportunities that I was given through volleyball. I find it extremely rewarding, and it is absolutely the best way to give back to the sport that has given me so much!
