Kate has been playing and coaching volleyball since she found her volleyball passion growing up in central Iowa. Kate was a setter and outside hitter for Ames High School, a national level junior olympic team and the club volleyball team at Washington University in St. Louis.

Kate's volleyball coaching experience includes over 15 seasons between Loveland Youth Volleyball, the Greater Cincinnati Catholic League, and Ohio Premier. In 2021, her 10-3 OPVC team finished in the top 16 of all 10s teams in the Ohio Valley Region.

She believes volleyball is an ultimate team sport that can teach young athletes so much more than volleyball skills. She looks forward to sharing her love of the game and her experience with some of our youngest OPVC athletes.

Kate’s professional experience is in higher education admissions and secondary education counseling and administration.
