Monica grew up in the beautiful city of Long Beach, California where she attended public schools and received my B.A. from California State University and her Masters degree from Cal State Dominguez Hills. She played volleyball from middle school to high school and earned recognition as an All-League and All-City player. Her dreams of pursuing volleyball at Washington State University were dimmed by a career-ending injury to her back, but this didn’t stop her from my strong commitment to teamwork and skill development. As she transitioned into her first-year coaching position, she is eager to share her knowledge with aspiring athletes with a focus on fostering a love for the game and honing fundamental skills. She is excited to empower the next generation of volleyball players and help them reach their full potential!
