A native of Chana, Illinois, Niatha Cullen enters her first year at UAB after spending three years as a graduate assistant for indoor and beach volleyball at Stetson University.
During her three years in Deland, Fla., Stetson emerged as one of the nation’s top beach programs and was selected as one of eight participants in the first ever NCAA National Championship Tournament in 2016.
The Hatters won the Atlantic Sun Conference all three years that Cullen was on staff and played to an overall record of 70-28 under her watch. Her accolades include helping Stetson’s No. 1 team play to an overall record of 32-3 in 2016 and earn All-America recognition.
Cullen earned her undergraduate degree in exercise science from Jacksonville University, where she played both indoor and beach volleyball. From 2010-12 she played indoor and beach, but focused solely on beach for her final two years at JU.
She is currently finishing her masters of clinical mental health counseling at Stetson.
