Hey there! I'm Keilahna Wilks (Castillo) but many people call me ‘Coach Nani’ …and volleyball has been my passion since I could walk! Growing up, I played AAU volleyball here at Impact, exploring different positions and fine-tuning my skills along the way. My journey led me to Calvin College, where I proudly wore the Libero jersey for 4 incredible years, & I had the privilege of winning a DIII National Championship title in 2016. I’ve been coaching at Impact for 4+ years & I’m driven by a deep love for the game and a desire to pass on everything I've learned to the next generation of Impact players! 

A fun fact about me is that I have swam with whale sharks and sea turtles - I love being near and in the ocean!
