My coaching philosophy is built on developing well-rounded athletes by focusing equally on skill, discipline, and character. I believe in creating a positive, competitive environment where players grow as teammates, leaders, and individuals both on and off the court.
I have five years of experience coaching high school teams and one year at the club level. As both a coach and a teacher, I bring the ability to connect with student-athletes and help them grow on and off the court. My background in education allows me to break down skills, build confidence, and create a supportive yet competitive environment. I am committed to developing athletes who not only perform at a high level but also demonstrate teamwork, discipline, and leadership.
I am excited to see the athletes’ progression from tryouts to nationals and to see what we can achieve together as a team.
I would like to help create good humans, not just good athletes. I played club volleyball with Kings for six years and senior volleyball with Lindsay Thurber for two years. In 2024, our high school team won provincials, and in 2023 we earned bronze. I also have coaching experience in soccer, where I served as an assistant coach for a team that won the Central Alberta League Championship. I am very excited to make new friends and connections in the Edmonton volleyball community.
