Athlete background

Meet Juliann

A three-time All-American and the 2010 Big 12 Conference Player of the Year, opposite Juliann Faucette helped lead Texas to three-straight NCAA Semifinals appearances. In her rookie season in 2007, she was named Big 12 and AVCA National Freshman of the Year. Following her time at UT, she had a successful six-year professional career competing throughout Europe and China. She then pursued a career as a recording artist, publishing her first EP in 2016, and launched a podcast, Behind the Athlete, in 2019 that spotlights high-level athletes and their passions outside of the sport they play. Juliann has also coached and given back to the community through coaching clinics, webinars and more.

I'm a Mom of 3 and newbie twin mom to 11 month olds! Ruby on the right and Ramsey on the left. This was their first time in the pool!

Personality pic! I love music and this was at Dreamville music festival. 

social

My little family. I'm a single mom of three and they are my world. Everything I represent and work for in life is to ensure that they have the best example of what hard work and perseverance looks like, and that they know they have a strong, loving mother in their corner. 

social

I love all things Texas! It's always an honor to go back to games and be apart of it again. I used to sing the national anthem for every senior night (including mine!) when I played. Singing is a passion of mine.

social

I love playing beach volleyball for fun!

i absolutely love dressing up for special occasions. I love keeping up with fashion trends and putting my own twists on looks.
