Alissa’s volleyball career began at the age of eleven for Club Solano 12-1s as a DS/Libero. Throughout her first year, her team held the second seed all season and earned a national bid to GJNC in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her 13s year she moved to Xcel and following that, Pacific Rim for 14s. For both teams she played as a setter and DS. For 15s through her 18s year, Alissa played at Xcel as a setter and DS/Libero. During her 15s season, Alissa’s team placed 2nd at Triple Crown Women’s NIT in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Alissa’s 17s year was cut short due to the COVID pandemic. Still in masks, her 18s year, Alissa’s team made it to 18s Girls Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. 

Alissa prepped at St. Patrick - St. Vincent High School, where she played her freshman year on JV as a setter, captain, MVP, and later pulled up to varsity for playoffs. The next three years, she was mainly a setter on her varsity team but also occasionally played DS/libero. After her sophomore year, her team was named Tri-County Athletic League Champions in the Rock Division. 

After graduating high school in 2021, Alissa continued her education at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. After a year and a half in Utah, she decided to move home and attend Diablo Valley College. Alissa is currently a student at Sacramento State University where she will be graduating with a BS in psychology in the fall of 2025. 

As a coach, Alissa worked co-ed camps at St. Patrick - St. Vincent High School for ages 8-17. She also started coaching summer camps for middle and high schoolers at Xceleration after graduating high school. After her first year of college, she went back to work summer camps and continued coaching camps/clinics and other lessons during the spring time. This is Alissa's third season coaching with Red Rock. In her first year, Alissa coached our 15-2 team, finishing 2nd at Far Westerns and 17th at Regional Championships in the NCVA Power League. This past season Alissa coached our 16-2 and 14-2 teams. While her coaching experience is short on paper, her extensive knowledge of volleyball and playing experience carries over to make her a successful coach.
