Train, Empower, Exceed

Hi I’m Sydnie, a Minnesota native who has made the Austin area my home for the past seven years. Throughout my time in Texas, I have gained diverse experiences, having worked as a veterinary technician, brewery manager,  bartender, graduate student, intern and coach demonstrating my versatility and unwavering dedication but ultimately finding my calling in coaching. 

As a former Dll Collegiate Volleyball Alumna from Minnesota Duluth, I had the privilege of earning several notable accolades, including All American, MVP, All Conference, and All Region recognition. I am proud to hold the block record for the program, a testament to my learned and practiced skills on the court. I hope to bring my knowledge to my athletes and inspire them to chase their collegiate dreams, academic or athletic.

Fueled by my passion for animals and marine biology, I pursued a degree in Biology and Latin American studies, ultimately leading me to Texas, where I recently obtained Masters in Marine Science and Marine Mammal Conservation at Unity Environmental University. 

I am so excited to build and add value to the Austin Volleyball Community as my passions have led me to a full time career in coaching.
