Coaching Career Highlight:
Coaching the Girls 2007 CiTY team in Sweden during the summer of 2022. Watching the girls compete against international competition and meeting coaches from opposing teams was an incredible experience, something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

Coaching Philosophy:
First and foremost, to enjoy the game and have fun, this is when you’re at your best. I believe in creating a positive and safe learning environment where players feel comfortable taking risks, learn from their mistakes, and take ownership of their play on the field.

Why do you like coaching for CiTY?:
CiTY serves soccer families and they understand the balance between life and sports. They believe in giving back to the community, particularly the Special Needs Clinic and the Get on the Bus program. They are a very welcoming club, I feel extremely supported by the staff, and the coaches work collaboratively.
