Born in California, and a transplant to Atlanta during the 1996 Olympic Games, Nichole came to the south with an abundance of experience, which inspired her to be a leader in the girls game through Marist School high school, leading to be awarded a full scholarship to Georgia Southern University NCAA DI aa  1998-2002.

 

In 2020, Nichole was unexpectedly thrust back into the game by her son's passion for switching sports to the game of volleyball, and has been proudly coaching ever since.

 

Starting first with developing an indoor boys volleyball summer program in 2021 in the south side of Atlanta, Nichole was hired by A5 Volleyball Club to proudly coach the u15s boys team for the 2022-23 season, then founded  and coached Varsity through Soutthside Slam Volleyball Club to ensure her local players were able to participate in High School Competition, even if their school did not have an existing program, opening the sport to all those that wanted to participate.

 

Three coaching seasons later, she is completely dedicated to the growth of the A5 Boys volleyball program and will say her mission is:

 

"positively impacting our athletes to keep great kids in this great game!"
