Warrior volleyball has had a large impact on my life for over ten years now, and I am excited to lead this program. I have big shoes to fill, but I am excited to push our players to new heights both on the court and in their walks with the Lord.”

WMC Athletic Director Ryan Slack is pleased to have Amber back to lead the program, “It is great to see a Warrior student-athlete come back and lead a program they were a part of. Amber knows our school, our school community and families and has been a part of the rich volleyball history at WMC. I look forward to her leading our students on and off the court as they develop both their volleyball skills and their faith.”
