Jennifer joins OPVC this season as the Head Coach of our 16-1 National team. She currently serves as the Varsity Head Coach at East Central High School and previously spent three years coaching high school volleyball at St. John’s. Before moving into high school volleyball, Jennifer spent nine years coaching athletes from 3rd through 8th grade.

Jennifer’s coaching experience extends well beyond volleyball. She coached soccer for 20 years after growing up playing on a select travel team herself. Across both sports, her coaching has always centered around three core values: communication, honesty, and hard work. She believes that when athletes commit to those values and to one another, a team can accomplish just about anything.

Originally from Cincinnati, Jennifer still enjoys competing herself through sand volleyball and indoor soccer. Outside of coaching, she works as a substitute teacher for Sunman-Dearborn Schools and as a daycare provider. She is also a mom of 7 and grandmother of 8!
