I graduated from Ankeny High School in 2018 and played varsity volleyball all four years as a DS/Libero. Throughout high school I played club volleyball at CIS, Ignit, and IPVA as DS/Libero and outside. I also played sand volleyball for Elite Beach from 2011-2018 and continued to coach there after I graduated. I went on to play volleyball at Grand View University for four years as a DS/Libero and outside. I graduated from Grand View University with majors in Criminal Justice and Psychology and a minor in Sociology.
