Youth volleyball coach and mentor
- 🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States
- Fresno Athletic Club
- 2015 to 2023
- English, Spanish
I coached volleyball at Fresno Athletic Club from 2015 to 2023. Most of my players were between 8 and 16, and a lot of them turned into friends for life.
Winning was never the point, though I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it. I played music while people worked.

If you played for me, you probably remember the day the fire alarm went off during the exam.

What gifts mean to Mariana: I'll put any gifts toward a small fund so no child misses a match because of money.
