Personal
Born March 24, 1993 in Bakersfield to parents Patty and Jacque. She has one sibling, Jackie, who played volleyball at Texas and USD and who is an assistant coach at PLNU… some of Caitlin’s hobbies are reading Nicholas Sparks, putting together scrapbooks and collages, golfing, and baking... chose PLNU because, “I knew that it would be the best fit for me to build a strong future. My dreams all came true when I committed to the volleyball program, not only do I get to continue my passion but share it with an incredible group of people that not only take volleyball in account each day on the court but also take God as our guide throughout our season. From the opportunities PLNU gives to me academically, spiritually, and athletically I know that my college experience could not get any better from where I will be headed with Point Loma” … a business major.
