"The reason why I coach is I love soccer. I've learned so much about myself and really grown into the person I am today through my years of playing and the coaches I've had along the way. Coaching is my opportunity to give back and show the next generation how amazing this sport can be and what it can teach you. Growing up watching the women's game become what it is today has been an inspiration to me. I want to share that inspiration and passion, and show these girls that we can do it all."

“Soccer has always been one of my passions in life. As a child my family would travel to Mexico often, my favorite memory was finding other friends to play soccer in the streets with, some had shoes and some did not but we would still play anyway. The passion those children showed me still inspires me today to be a better player, coach, and human being. If I can make just make a small an impact as a coach and or see growth in a player, I am winning.”
