Favorite Volleyball Moment:
	My favorite volleyball coaching moment was the 10-1's of 2024. Every athlete grew and learned to be a "Lites" player. We had tons of fun! I really enjoy coaching with my daughter Abby. Its a great way for us to be together. My favorite volleyball parenting moment(s) was watching my daughters play for Northern Lights over the years. I attended most matches, made many friendships with other parents, and my daughters coaches. I enjoyed watching my daughters grow as athletes and as people. MNL helped them become the strong women they are today.
