I got hooked on volleyball in Grade 5 thanks to Mr. Gibson and a random club tryout. It’s been a few years since then, but my passion for the game and the community is still as fiery as ever!

After graduating with a Master’s of Geological Science and some time in the workforce, I decided it was time for a big change. I lost my Dad early and realized life was too short to not attack what I love.

So, I took a leap of faith and fully invested myself into a new journey: Performance & Health Coaching. At that time, I saw too many of my friends in the volleyball community getting unnecessarily hurt, not performing at their best, and getting TRASH advice.

This was how I was going to make my impact, so I got to work. I learned everything I could about training and recovery for sport and longevity. I went to school, got my CSCS certification, and started coaching. Fast forward a few years and SideOut Stronger was born. Now I’m lucky enough to help volleyball players around the world become the best version of themselves.

It’s been an amazing journey already and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store.
