Coach Amy is passionate about volleyball. She played in high school and for one year in college, recreationally in tournaments and for a year in Italy when she was there conducting research for her Fulbright Scholarship. After years away from the sport and three kids later, Amy began to immerse herself in coaching youth, first for her kids' softball, basketball and volleyball teams and currently as the Petaluma High School Varsity and Petaluma Junior High coach.  In the off season, Amy coaches at Absolute Volleyball Club in Marin in the 15s  - 17s age group since 2022. 

Coach Amy's mission is to grow the love of and skill level of volleyball in her Petaluma community through camps and clinics that offer new and developing players a strong introduction to the sport that she hopes will inspire young athletes to play volleyball at all levels.
