	This is my 3rd year coaching at Sting. I coached 12 silver last year along with 7th and 8th grade Jr. Chargers teams. Also worked at MN select this past summer running sand vb camps and various indoor camps.	Love everything about volleyball. Volleyball has always been a huge part of my life throughout high school and college. I played in many leagues and club as an outside hitter whenever possible. I am looking forward to our practices/tournaments every week and can’t wait to share my vb passion with my upcoming team!	Recently my favorite volleyball memory has been setting up ballon volleyball at my work office. We made mini brackets during our lunch breaks. Never can have enough volleyball! I also enjoyed watching the growth of my past 12 silver girls throughout the season. They continued to impress me every tournament with their leadership, positivity, and growth in volleyball.

Milwaukee Sting 14-18 Black, Tennessee State University, UW-Platteville

In college my coach would take away our phones as we got on the bus for an away game. About an hour and a half before the game she asked how I was feeling and I was honest and stated, you know, something just isn't right. Could I please get my phone back to call home?(She knew I was homesick since I was 8+ hours away). She gave me my phone and I called my dad knowing he could give me a little pep talk. That game I had my career high kills for a match that we won in three(25 kills). Plus, this game was against my old assistant coach.
