I am originally from Houston, TX and while I played many sports growing up – my passion was volleyball. I first played volleyball at the Greater Houston YMCA when I was 6 years old and continued through high school. I played with several clubs on their travelling team including Southwest Juniors, Texas Elite, and Houston Juniors. While my 5’10” height came to me early in life I began as a Middle Blocker, at U14 became an Outside Hitter. I later graduated Texas A&M University with a bachelor's and master’s degree in Information Systems and that is also where I met my husband and fellow coach at Blue Royals – Kyle Barker. Our careers ended up taking us to Seattle, WA where we began the search to find a club team with a passion for developing young athletes both on and off the court and we found Blue Royals. We are so excited to coach this year and look forward to a great season!
