COACHING PHILOSOPHY: We want to get better every time we’re together in the gym. The coaches and players should be learning and working together to reach a common goal: be the best TEAM we can be. Everything we do is for the benefit of the team. Win or lose, we will compete hard, play fair, and respect ourselves, our opponents, and the referee.
COACHING EXPERIENCE: 4 seasons as a LVC Head Coach
2024 D1T4 Provincial Champions
2 Silver and 2 Bronze at OVA tournaments
25 years coaching Elementary School teams
3 TVDSB Champions
1 TVDSB Silver and 2 Bronze
SPECIALIZATION: My favourite part of the game to teach is team systems, especially defense. To see a team finally get it and be in position, making the game so much easier, is very rewarding.
PERSONAL NOTES: Away from the court, I love to listen to music, fish, and watch my children play various sports. I also spend a lot of time walking our yellow lab.

COACHING PHILOSOPHY: Mistakes are a part of volleyball. There would be no game without them. The most important part is to learn and grow from those mistakes, move on and not dwell on them.
COACHING EXPERIENCE: I have been a lead for our Fan the Flames program for about a year and was a ref for the program before that for about 3 years, this is my first year coaching Sparks but am excited to continue doing it!
SPECIALIZATION: I love teaching the basics of passing, because I believe it's the foundation of game play. As a middle I was not great at passing so I want to make sure that everyone knows the basics of making a good pass regardless of the position they play.
PERSONAL NOTES: I am currently at Fanshawe college taking some elective courses and working at Storybook Gardens. When I'm not at school or work I love reading, going to the gym, and hanging out with friends!
