Prairie View A & M University Women's Volleyball

I am the Assistant Volleyball Coach at Prairie View A&M University in Texas. We are a NCAA Division I HBCU. I have been there since May of 2023. In my first season at PVAMU, we managed to flip the program entirely and go 19-13 in the fall of 2023, finishing 3rd in the SWAC. Prior to PVAMU, I was the Graduate Assistant at East Central University in Oklahoma from 2022-2023. In 2018-2020, I played at Sheridan College, a JUCO, in Wyoming as a OH/DS. I then transferred to East Central University for my last two years of eligibility. I was an OH/RS where we made it to the Great American Conference tournament for the first time in 10 years and then had the first winning season in program history. As a graduate assistant at ECU we went 15-16 and made it to the quarterfinals of the Great American Conference tournament.  I am from Eaton, CO and graduated from Eaton High School where I won 4 state volleyball championships and the 4th one my senior year made it the program's 5th consecutive state championship. Once I graduated I attended Sheridan College to continuing playing volleyball where I was leading the team in kills up until halfway through the season I had torn my ACL and Meniscus. I then played my second year at Sheridan finishing with leading in kills.
