Holt, who joined the coaching staff on April 1, 2022, enters her third season as an assistant coach for the Louisiana Tech volleyball program.
The 2024 season saw Holt orchestrate one of the best blocking performances in over a decade. The Bulldogs finished the year with 216.5 total blocks, the most since 2010. The 319 block assists were the most by a Tech team since 2009. She developed Charlize Williams into one of the best middle blockers in program history. Williams tied the program record with 1.24 blocks per set and ranked tied for fifth with 128 total blocks. She also oversaw the development of freshman Rori Gray into a Conference USA All-Freshman season.
LA Tech carried the momentum from the 2022 season into 2023 and qualified for their first Conference USA Tournament in program history. Under Holt's guidance, the Bulldogs finished with 277 block assists, the most since the 2019 season.
Her presence was felt in year one with the program as LA Tech built momentum after registering 11 wins, the most since 2019. Four of those came against Conference USA action, including two 3-0 sweeps of Charlotte and UTSA, to match the most CUSA victories in a single season since 2016. The team came one win shy of qualifying for the CUSA Tournament for the first time in program history, a goal they are set out to do in 2023. Holt was responsible for helping develop the Bulldogs blocking game that finished the season with 216 total blocks, their most since 2010, and 110 solo blocks, the sixth most in a single season in program history.
Holt came to Ruston from Cisco College, where she served as an assistant coach for two seasons. During her time at Cisco, she assisted in technical and physical training, identified prospective student-athletes, managed statistical operations, and designed social media content across all platforms for the volleyball program.

Holt trained middle blockers, right sides, and the team blocking system at Cisco. In 2021, two student-athletes received all-conference honors, and the team produced an 18-win season.

Prior to coaching at Cisco College, Holt played at Pacific from 2014-2019, competing on both the indoor and beach volleyball teams. Holt was named the team captain in her final season with the Tigers. In her senior season, she played in all 29 matches and finished her career with 399 kills and 167 total blocks.

The Sacramento, California native graduated with a bachelor's degree in social sciences and a minor in teaching professions in 2018. She received her master's degree in the fall of 2019 in educational and organizational leadership from Pacific.
