Played college volleyball at Tomball Junior College in the 90s. Just after, began a 25 year coaching career in Houston and Dallas, single and double qualifying teams in almost every season in every division. 25 years of volleyball certifications, camps, and clinics across the US. I have also had the honor of helping place dozens of athletes in all divisions of college volleyball!

Ashley is entering her 13th year coaching at Summit. She is currently coaching volleyball and teaching math at Rockwall-Heath High School.

I am so excited to join Summit North along side Cara to bring North Texas a competitive, high-level training atmosphere to our area! A little about me…. I developed my love of volleyball at a young age and it quickly became my passion. I played all the way through college at the University of Central Oklahoma (Go Chos!) while in college I transitioned to Libero my sophomore year which helped me earn 27 Defensive player of the year awards, All-American my senior year, and most recently (2021) inducted into the Hall of Fame.  After college I continued my passion for the game and transitioned to coach. I was with LoneStar Volleyball club from 2011-2020. ( Club Director from 2016-2020) I have coached every age from 11s-17s. I qualified numerous teams while I was at LoneStar along with medaling twice at GJNC. I can’t wait to continue to grow the game of volleyball and train the next generation of volleyball players!
