About Me

I live in Montgomery with my husband Corey. We got married in December 2008 in Puerto Rico. My family all live in Michigan where I grew up. I work full time at Motorola in Schaumburg as an Engineering Manager and sometimes travel overseas to meet with my teams in Poland, Argentina, Israel, Singapore, and India. I've had some exciting volleyball moments over the past couple years including meeting many Olympic Volleyball Players (Misty May, Kerri Walsh, Reid Priddy, Ryan Millar, Jake Gibb, Sean Rosenthal, Logan Tom, & Emanuele Birarelli!) Outside of work and volleyball I enjoy taking vacations - Las Vegas anyone???, reading, scrapbooking, and watching sporting events (Go Sox!) One of my best volleyball moments ever was telling the 2010 15 Black team that they had Qualified for Nationals! -- Janelle
