I was elated when I was presented the opportunity to work with Bird [Laura “Bird” Kuhn] and the rest of the A&M volleyball program. As a former player under Bird, I know how passionate she is about developing players into better athletes and better human beings, and I have the utmost respect for her and what she has done throughout her coaching career. I am eager to learn as much as I can from the entire coaching staff and to assist the student-athletes in any way I can.”
