Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is centered on helping athletes reach their full potential while enjoying the process. I focus on strong fundamentals, hard work, and confidence, while creating a supportive and competitive environment. I believe that with commitment and effort, any athlete can achieve their goals.

Competitive Background

I have been playing volleyball since the age of five, developing a lifelong passion for the sport. I competed at the collegiate level for five years at The College of New Rochelle and Manhattanville University, earning numerous honors, including Fall Athlete of the Year, First Team All-Conference, Second Team All-Conference, Academic All-District, and multiple Player of the Week awards. In addition to my collegiate career, I played club volleyball extensively throughout my youth, competing at a high level in tournaments across the country and internationally, including Florida, Arizona, Chicago, and Puerto Rico.

Coaching Experience

Entering my fourth season at Chelsea Piers, I’ve coached athletes ages 10–16 across regional, select, and national programs, helping players develop strong fundamentals and confidence at every level of competition.

Most Memorable Sports Moment

One of my most memorable sports experiences was competing in four conference championships during my collegiate career and winning three of them.
