Melanie has been involved in the volleyball community for 30 years. She started playing at the age of 7 and has continued playing through high school, college and adult league.

Melanie loves playing, coaching and watching most sports, but enjoys soccer and volleyball the most. She had the opportunity to coach and now watch her two daughters play volleyball throughout their school, club and now university teams.

Melanie’s coaching philosophy is one that all athletes will grow and learn during activities if they are having fun. She wants to provide them with social, physical, emotional and mental experience to all players and to enhance their skills and values in life through their sports.
