About Heidi

Beach

Heidi started her beach volleyball career playing in the local tournaments around Oahu. Heidi and her partner, Tanya Fuamatu-Anderson partnered, qualified for the AVP tour, and began a run that would take them to numerous top ten finishes around the country.

International

The Philippines Olympic Committee recruited Heidi and then AVP partner Diane Nelson to represent the Philippines on the international level, competing at the Asia Games, the Southeast Asia Games, and the FIVB World Tour with the ultimate goal of qualifying for the Olympics in Beijing. They came up short in their bid for Beijing, but after seeing the sports impact around the world, Heidi came home inspired to grow the sport for the next generation.

Coaching

Heidi continued her coaching career on “the mainland”, at UCLA Bruin Beach under the direction of Stein Metzger, Golden Gate Volleyball in Marin, The Lab in Colorado with Mike Patton, and Synergy Beach in Sacramento, mentoring and guiding numerous athletes on their road to playing collegiate beach volleyball.
