Before joining UNO, she spent one season as the Director of Volleyball Operations at San Diego State University.
In addition to her school coaching experience, Tepe has been deeply involved in club volleyball for more than a decade with Volleyball Club Nebraska, helping develop athletes across multiple age levels.
A native of Scottsbluff, Tepe was a four-sport athlete in high school, lettering in volleyball, basketball, track, and soccer. She continued her volleyball career at Nebraska Wesleyan University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education.
Lincoln Lutheran officials expressed excitement about welcoming Tepe to the program, noting that her background, leadership experience, and commitment to developing student-athletes make her well prepared to lead the Warriors into the future.
