Born and raised in Sonoma County, Hamilton played nearly every volleyball position at Santa Rosa's Montgomery High School before going on to a distinguished career at Division 1 schools St. Peter’s College in New Jersey and the University of San Francisco. After graduation, she returned to coach at her high school Alma Mater for seven seasons (2001-2007), followed by a four-year coaching stint (2011-2014) at Petaluma High School.
Hamilton moved to Windsor in 2010 and has been patiently awaiting an opportunity to coach the Jaguars. “I jokingly always said that if the varsity volleyball job became available, I would love to coach in town,” she said. “I only had to wait 10 years for the opportunity. Volleyball is a sport where so many different types of athletes have the opportunity to contribute,” she said. “Work hard, play hard, be a good teammate and teach others to do the same. That’s how we will build on this great program (HealdsburgTribune).”
Additionally to coaching varsity volleyball at Montgomery High School and Petaluma High Schools, she has coached at the same local volleyball club she played for. She also serves as a Real Estate mentor and coach for Real Estate agents both locally and across North America.
