I believe that we should commit ourselves to excellence, seek growth outside of the practice environment, and always have an open mind. My most recent experience includes coaching 16U and 14U in Ontario. Before that, I coached and managed the National Beach Program in Jamaica. I also played and coached at the University level in Jamaica. I am passionate about teaching, honing volleyball skills, and contributing to the growth of the program.

My coaching philosophy is rooted in fostering consistent growth within athletes, whether that be through developing positive mindsets and attitudes or by teaching effective physical exercises. I played club volleyball throughout my high school years with the FOG association, along with competing on my school’s varsity team. As I step into my first year coaching my former high school team along with the FOGG Club, I hope to learn and grow just as much as the athletes. I am excited to see the potential of each athlete increase and aim to cultivate a positive environment where they can develop both mentally and physically throughout the season!

My coaching journey is driven by a passion for mastery, personal growth, and the joy of seeing athletes reach their own success milestones while developing a love for the sport, competition, and relationships. I believe in a holistic, athlete-centered approach that fosters growth across physical, technical, tactical, mental, and social pillars. My goal is to instill values of compassion, accountability, resilience, and authentic self-expression in a supportive yet challenging environment.

I hold a Bachelor of Kinesiology in Sport Coaching from the University of Alberta, where I had the privilege of working with Pandas Varsity, club teams from 15U to 17U, high school teams, and Volleyball Alberta’s Go Sports program. Despite having to step away from competitive play after one season at M.E. LaZerte due to leukemia, my love for the game continues through coaching and recreational play.

This season, I’m excited to merge the Golden Bears’ CCRAPPD philosophy with my experience in the Pandas system, while learning and growing alongside the athletes and coaching staff.
