My Story:

Growing up if there was a sport to be playing I was playing it (organized or not) but soccer was always my favorite, and the one I stuck with from about 6 years old through high school.

I’ve had my fair share of injuries and setbacks along the way, yet through it all I kept coming back because I knew there was more for me to gain. Not more “things” (trophies, plaques, or awards)—but more me. Deeper levels of understanding, strength, grit, resiliency, as well as love, joy, laughter, and play. My life experiences have taught me more than I could have ever learned in a textbook; about how to keep showing up for yourself even when it feels like it’s all working against you. I’ve learned to embrace challenges, because without them we stay stagnant while life continues to move around us. I’ve come to find that learning to move with it, just might set you free.

I fell in love with sports performance training, not just because I love wearing sweatpants to work and being athletic all day—but because I love the environment and culture it creates for youth and professional athletes alike. I love what I do, but more than that I love the relationships and connections I get to form by doing what I do.

I strive to always be cultivating an environment that is rooted in mutual trust, understanding, and always fun—because honestly life becomes dull without it. I want athletes to be able to find equal amounts of joy and commitment, in even the hardest of training sessions. But most of all I want them to feel like they always have someone in their corner cheering them on along the way.

I coach not because I have all the answers, (in fact I think my athletes teach me more than I could ever teach them), coaching for me has always been about being willing to walk someone else’s journey alongside them. Letting them lead, while I follow—supporting, encouraging, and holding a light to their path when they need it most. Stronger together.

She’s designed & implemented both individualized and team training programs for youth athletes, high schoolers at the ECNL/RL club levels, collegiate athletes ranging from D1 to NAIA, and professional athletes playing in the NWSL, MLS, USL, MASL & WPSL.
