She earned the honor of becoming the first Tiger volleyball player to be named a First Team AVCA All-American. She states that, "It's such an honor to be back in the Reedley College Gym and have the opportunity to lead the team that made such a positive impact on my life"....  "we'll be working hard to return the volleyball program back to the prominence it once had under coach Gustafson". 

She went on to play for the Fresno State Bulldogs during 1992 & 1993 seasons under coach Lindy Vivas.  As part of the 17th ranked Bulldog squad, she earned All-WAC 2nd team honors her senior year and went on to earn her Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education.
