This is a well-respected program in the NWAC and I look forward to building on that legacy. My calling is to teach—and to do so passionately and enthusiastically through the sport of volleyball. It has always been my mission to work with student-athletes at this level and to have a transformative impact through leading by example with authenticity, strong relationships, and chasing excellence in everything that we do. I can’t wait to be back in this beautiful area and to help our student-athletes continue on this journey of learning, growing, and having a great experience at Spokane.”
