Livingston joins the Tennessee Tech family as an assistant coach in July 2017 after serving as the head coach at the University of Antelope Valley from 2015-2016. 

"I am super excited to join the Tennessee Tech family," Livingston said. "I didn't want to go to a program that was already established because I wanted the opportunity to add my mark to the program. There is so much potential here at Tech. After talking with the players and coaches, it is really comforting to know that I have a place and a voice here." 

Prior to Antelope Valley, Livingston served as an assistant coach at Seattle University and a volunteer assistant coach at the Univeristy of Nebraska-Lincoln. She also played professionally for various clubs worldwide from 2002-2013, after her four-year career as an athlete at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

Livingston had a stellar collegiate career. She helped the Badgers win two Big Ten Conference titles with four NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the 2000 NCAA championship match. A three-time All-Big Ten and four-time AVCA All-Region selection, Livingston became the first Badger to earn First Team All-America recognition, which she accomplished twice. She graduated from Wisconsin with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history along with the Badger career records in kills (1,912) and hitting percentage (.361).

Livingston was inducted into the University of Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 2007.  She was a member of the U.S. Junior National team in 1998 and 1999, including being named the best blocker at the 1999 World Junior Championships.  

"Sherisa is a huge steal for us," Zelenock said. "She was an All-American at Wisconsin and then played professionally all over Europe for 10 years. After that, she coached in Nebraska and became an NAIA head coach. But you know, head coaching just isn't for everyone. She felt more comfortable in an assistant role and we were very happy to let her come back to her comfort zone of being an assistant. I think both of our assistants could be head coaches, so to be able to bring two people like that in, I think we are on a really good path."

Livingston graduated from Wisconsin-Madison in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History. She is currently in the process of earning her Master's Degree from the American Public University System in Sport Management.
