Hello all!
To those of you who don't know me, I am Kelli Goodan from the small town of Des Moines, New Mexico, where the cattle outnumber the people. It is located in the Northeast corner of New Mexico, between the small towns of Raton and Clayton. I graduated from High School there, with a class of twelve people.I played volleyball for Mike (and Ashley Hardee, Stevi Adams, Debby Baker, Don Flora, and Tricia Wright) for the 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 volleyball seasons. We made school history in 2008 by making it to the second round of the NCAA tournament and pushing with Hawaii for the regular season WAC Championships. I played with a number of people, but here are just a few: Alice Borden, Jackie Choi, Tanya Allen, Jordan Bostic, Kim Oguh, Amber Simpson, Bri Akrie, Anna Callis, Krystal Torres, Lindsey Yon, Krista Altermatt, Angel Tirado, Whitney Woods, Erin Birmingham, and many more over the years. We have had a very successful reign of athletes, and I look forward to this year's reign to continue to push further into history.
I graduated in May 2010, after exhausting my NCAA volleyball eligibility, with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Community Development, a minor in Natural Resource Leadership and Agriculture Business Management. Currently I am working on attaining my Master's of Arts in Agriculture and Extension Education. I am currently the graduate assistant for the NMSU Volleyball team and hope to graduate in May 2012.
Upon graduation, I would like to become a coach somewhere, or even perhaps teach. It all depends upon what job openings are available at the time of my departure from NMSU. I try to live life to the fullest, and have a full schedule as a result. My faith, family, and friends are very important to me, and I have a definite love for the game of volleyball. Everyone has been tremendously supportive of my dreams and aspirations, and I appreciate them and love them dearly.
I look forward to a tremendous 2011 year for Aggie Volleyball. I see great things in the athletes and am excited for the upcoming season. We appreciate all your wonderful support of the program and the girls! Thank you!
Go Aggies & God Bless!
Kelli Goodan
