I grew up in Southern California and started playing soccer at the age of 5. I realized I really loved the sport and played outdoors year round! We then moved to New Mexico where I continued playing varsity soccer in high school as well as at the club and olympic development level. I knew I wanted to continue playing in college and ended up at Lake Forest College in Illinois. I played center mid for Lake Forest and we were the first women's team to advance to the NCAA tournament my sophomore year.
I still play in women's and co-ed leagues in the area and hope to continue playing for a long time! I coached my first team senior year of highschool and had so much fun coaching U-9 girls. I have since coached both of my boys in soccer and continue to learn and develop my coaching skills. I love watching, playing, and coaching soccer and I hope I can help develop this love of the game in the kids I coach!
