DIII PlayerLiberoI am originally from the Bronx, NY, and I have been dedicated to coaching volleyball for as long as I can remember. I started my coaching journey at the age of 18 at Legacy Volleyball Club, where I began as an assistant coach before moving up to become the head coach. During my time there, I also served as the boys' director, helping to establish a solid foundation for the program. After Legacy, I spent five years at NYC Impact Club, where I thrived as the head coach for the 15-18 age group. I also took on the role of assistant boys' director, contributing to the club's growth and success. In more recent years, I've been involved with the volleyball program at Monroe College. I coached the women's team for two seasons and then worked with the men's team for one season. My time at Monroe was particularly fulfilling, as I guided the women's team to two national appearances and led the men's team to a second-place finish in the national championships in 2023. In addition to coaching, I also took on the responsibility of recruiting players for the men's program at Monroe College, which showcases my commitment to nurturing talent and building successful teams.

Outside HitterI’m a National Champion and First Team All-American middle, honored as the 2024 Frogjump Middle of the Year. In just one year, I raised my hitting percentage from .452 to .561 by breaking down high-level film and applying what I learned—both from elite courses and my own game footage. As a collegiate athlete, I led the nation in blocks per set during my first season and reached the Final Four or better in all three years I played, ultimately winning a National Championship in my second season. I also hold the record for most blocks (10) in a 4 set match in the NCAA tournament. Since 2022, I’ve been coaching club volleyball and began offering private lessons in 2024. Now, I’m excited to work with the next generation of middles, helping them apply the same concepts and tools that elevated my own game to the highest level.
DIII PlayerNCAA ChamptionMiddle HitterIn college I was a 3 time All Conference and a 2023 National Champion. As a 4 year starter, I helped lead my team to 3 straight Final Fours. Sophomore to Junior season our program underwent a complete culture shift and a big focus of that was film review and development. I have always had a passion for watching and analyzing volleyball, understanding the lead up to mistakes and using video review to target behaviors that are precursors to mistakes. I first started on my coaching journey part time when I was 15, helping my little sister’s club team, from age 11s to 15s. While playing at Stevens Institute of Technology, I helped lead middle school clinics in Hoboken. Currently I am an assistant coach for Ocean County VBC. My passion for coaching combined with an Engineering background have created a very analytical, technical approach to volleyball. I stress the importance of film review because it's the only time the game can be seen and understood from every viewpoint, seeing how your teammates and opponents play with and against you. Watching film is a skill that can be taught and trained like any other, and it is crucial for maximum development.

DIII PlayerOpposite HitterMy coaching career began during my time at Kean University, where I served as a student assistant coach for the men’s volleyball team while competing as a student-athlete on the women’s team. I then advanced to a graduate assistant coaching position with the women’s volleyball program at Fairleigh Dickinson University, where I contributed to the team’s first-ever conference championship in my second year. Following that, I briefly held the role of Director of Operations for the women’s volleyball program at Rutgers University before joining Saint Louis University as an assistant coach.

DIII PlayerSetterI began my coaching journey in 2024 with the Highline Renegades 16U team—a level three team out of Highline. When I first joined, the team had never made it to a gold bracket, silver bracket, or even earned a medal at any tournament. That quickly became our motivation. Through focused training, team development, and a lot of hard work, we completely turned things around. By the end of the season, the team was consistently medaling in either the gold or silver bracket at every tournament we entered. That was just the beginning. In 2025, we’ve taken another big step: we're bringing the same group of players to AAU Nationals for the first time—a huge milestone for both the team and the Renegades program as a whole. It’s been incredible to witness their growth and be part of a journey that’s made a real impact on these athletes' confidence and performance.

DII PlayerLiberoMy goal as a coach is to make people love the game and expose people to volleyball who might normally not have access. My first experiences coaching were informal volunteer opportunities at the Newark, NJ YMCA when I was just in high school.

I then continued worked with Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School summer camps and Nike volleyball camps during my time in college. I started coaching club in 2021 with Garden State Elite Volleyball Club. I was able to work with all age groups, including juniors, 14s, 18s as well as both girls and boys teams.

DIII PlayerSetterHaving parents in the sport though I tried almost every sport available to me I knew Volleyball was ultimately going to be the journey I would take when it came to being the best that I could be at a ball sport. I have been playing since I was old enough to walk, started reffing the sport right out of Highschool and Coaching since I was 21. This is so much more than a sport to me.
