Kiara is a WAVE Alum and joined the WAVE Beach Staff in 2026! Kiara is a Torrey Pines graduate and continued her education and volleyball career at the Division I level at both San José State University and Cal State Long Beach.

Her coaching philosophy is centered around understanding that every athlete is different and learns in their own way. She wants to create an environment where players feel supported, confident, and motivated while still developing strong fundamentals and discipline. Kiara also believes the mental side of the game is just as important as the physical side. She values listening to players, building trust, and helping them grow both on and off the court without being overly controlling.
