“I am very excited to start my coaching journey with Metro! Metro is a club that I remember seeing at Junior Nationals when I was a player and I’m stoked to become a part of the family. From high school, to club, to college, I’ve had the privilege to play under several amazing coaches and I can’t wait to pass on what I’ve learned to the next generation of volleyball players. Let’s get after it!”

Nicole is entering her first year with Metro Volleyball Club. She started playing volleyball when she was 9 years old and quickly fell in love with the sport. Her volleyball career started at Impact Volleyball Club where she primarily played as a setter and outside hitter. Her sophomore year in high school, she moved to Rage Volleyball Club where she grew her skills as a setter. With Rage, her 15’s team earned an Open bid to USAV Junior National Championships in 2013. The following year, her 16’s team secured an American bid to Junior Nationals, finishing with a perfect record and the gold medal. During High School, Nicole also gained experience playing internationally. In 2013, she was selected to the USAV A1 High Performance Team that practiced and played out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The following two summers, she traveled to Italy, Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia to play in the Global Challenge with Team Golden State. Her senior year in high school, she committed as a setter to California State University, Chico. During her time at Chico State, Nicole and her team saw three playoff appearances, including an appearance at the NCAA Tournament in 2016.

Nicole graduated from Chico State in May of 2020 with Bachelor of Art degrees in History and Political Science. She currently works on Capitol Hill as a Legislative Assistant.
