She is a three-time U.S. Olympic team setter who helped lead the U.S. squad as the team captain to silver medals in 2008 and 2012.

Berg earned her bachelor’s degree in business marketing in 2001 from Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management.

Berg played professionally both in the U.S. (Minnesota Chill of the USPV in 2002) and abroad. She played eight years in Italy for three teams: Scavolini Pesaro (2004-07); Asystel Novara (2007-08); and MC-Carnaghi Villa Cortese (2009-12) and also played for Fenerbache in Istanbul in 2013.
