As a highly competitive collegiate and professional athlete, I naturally gravitated toward mental health advocacy and the inner side of the game. At a really impressionable age, playing in a National Championship set the stage for me to see how far discipline and dedication can take you—and also how intense it can feel in your body and mind when everything is on the line. That experience shaped my belief that creating a positive process with practical, comfortable, and personal implementation is crucial in anyone’s individual journey.

I was blessed to be a student-athlete and team captain at Dripping Springs High School and Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, and then further my volleyball career by playing professionally overseas. From there, I moved into coaching—first as an assistant and then as one of the youngest collegiate head coaches in the country, spending nine seasons in the college game. As an Austin native, I started coaching when I was home in the summers from 2006–2010, working camps for the University of Texas at Austin volleyball program. During that time, I also volunteered at Club Corpus and completely fell in love with the coaching side of the game and the chance to mentor young athletes.

After graduation, I coached at Centenary College and the University of Arkansas–Monticello, where I assisted with practice and game-day coaching, recruitment and retention of student-athletes, and emotional, athletic, and academic player development. I was then led to Louisiana Tech University as a volunteer assistant coach while also working on the administrative side of athletics—designing programs and helping establish branding strategies across social media, print, television, and radio, as well as supporting game operations and community service efforts for football, basketball, soccer, and volleyball.

As Head Coach at Navarro College, I had the honor of leading the Bulldogs to an NJCAA Top 20 finish prior to conference tournament contention (marking the first time in school history that all three fall sports were nationally ranked) and to the program’s first Region XIV Conference Tournament appearance in seven seasons, with four consecutive appearances to follow. I was nominated for Coach of the Year for the 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 seasons. Since November 2016, I’ve been with Austin Performance Volleyball, running summer and developmental camps and offering private lessons, mindset mentoring, and counseling-style support to countless young athletes ages 8–18.

Over time, my work expanded beyond just volleyball. I became a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), medicine woman, intuitive healer, and mental health advocate. Now I work with both adults and children—spiritually and athletically. That includes youth athletes, teens transitioning from high school to college, and high-achieving adults navigating anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, and life transitions. My approach blends my background as a professional athlete and head coach with evidence-based coaching, nervous-system awareness, and a deep relationship with Creator.

Each client presents a unique opportunity for me to create a tailored program that best suits their individual needs—whether the focus is performance, life, spiritual growth, or a mix of all three. My experiences as a former collegiate student-athlete, professional athlete, head coach, mentor, and spiritual wayshower have inspired my philosophy and fueled my desire to help others create personal empowerment, integrity, and a sense of wholeness that goes far beyond the court.

My genuine interest in the well-being of athletes and adults, and in the promotion of each person’s true passion, is what keeps me doing this work. Whether I’m supporting a child learning how to handle mistakes, a teenager graduating early and stepping into college, or an adult rebuilding after a hard season, my intention is the same: to offer a safe, honest, faith-rooted space where discipline and compassion can live together, and where you can remember who you are and why you started.
