Originally from Thousand Oaks, California, Tori has had volleyball in her life from the very beginning. Starting at just 8 years old, she grew up playing both indoor and beach volleyball, quickly developing a deep love for the game that would follow her across the world.
She played her high school volleyball at Rio Mesa High School, where she was a Libero and a part of the school’s first-ever league championship team. From there, she competed for elite club teams at LAVA and Point West, gaining high-level experience that would shape her competitive edge and understanding of the game.
Tori went on to study Industrial Technology with a minor in Accounting at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, graduating in 2023, before completing her Master of Science in Operations and Supply Chain Management at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, in 2024. While at Trinity, she played for both the university team and in the Irish Premier League. Her time overseas was marked by a string of major accomplishments, including winning the Irish College Varsities Championship and the Student Sport Cup, as well as earning second-place finishes at both the Volleyball England College Varsities and in the Irish Premier League.
As a coach, Tori is passionate about player development—both on and off the court. She believes in creating a positive and supportive environment that allows athletes to grow not just as strong volleyball players, but as individuals. She places high value on fostering resilience, teamwork, and integrity, and her coaching style reflects a deep commitment to helping her players become the best version of themselves.
In her free time, Tori enjoys traveling, staying active, reading, baking, and learning more about how the game of volleyball—and the athletes who play it—continue to evolve.
