President

I have been a proud member of NAGVA since 2000. During my time with the organization I have served in multiple roles with the Board of Directors including as a RC, Member At Large (1 year), Treasurer (6 years) and currently President (second year). I have also served on the local organizing committee for the Labor of Love Volleyball
Classic in Columbus, OH for 13 years, the last ten as tournament
Director. I am crazy enough to still be playing this sport even though
I have had three ACL tears - but volleyball and this organization have been such a huge and important part of my life.
