With a background as an Outside Hitter/Middle Blocker at Simmons University and four years of coaching experience, she brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to the court.
Currently working as a Pediatric Physical Therapist, Brittany’s coaching philosophy revolves around creating a supportive and fun environment. Her favorite coaching moments come from working with U12 and U14 players, where the joy of the game meets significant growth. Witnessing players fall in love with volleyball during these crucial years is a truly rewarding experience.
One of Brittany’s favorite drills, "Queen of the Court," is not just about competition but also about honing skills and fostering teamwork. It embodies the spirit of her coaching—fun, growth, and a love for the sport.
Off the court, her sweet tooth can always be cured with some ice cream!
