The Beginning

Raised in north Los Angeles, my parents required my sister and I to always participate in an extracurricular activity. Like most players, I started in a recreational program (WVSL) and was a late starter into the club level.  I just wrapped up my club (playing for LAFC 's ECNL team) and High School (and a captain on the El Camino Real Charter High School's varsity team) careers, graduating in 2024.  ​In the summer of 2022, after my sophomore year of high school, I committed to play soccer for UC San Diego beginning in the Fall of 2024.   Getting to this level is the product of countless hours of practice between sessions with the best trainers and coaches.  I'm the first trainer in your child's soccer journey aiming to build a strong foundation of fundamentals and through inspiration a work ethic needed to thrive at the next level...

I am all about being active, strong, and confident.  I found my confidence as a young girl in soccer and it transitioned into my school work and social life.  I'm looking to build confidence in kids by improving their skills on the field and giving them the opportunity to find greater self confidence through the game similar to what I've come to enjoy.  With that I'm passionate about playing quality soccer also.  I teach proper techniques and fundamentals. I’ve been told I can be tough but understanding, and I am always striving to give each player the individual guidance they need to help them compete into the next level of their soccer journey.

and my return to play after my ACL surgery.

Mission

My mission is to inspire and develop young soccer players by providing high-quality training in a positive and nurturing environment. I aim to instill essential skills to improve technical proficiency while emphasizing character development in terms of a strong work ethic, self-confidence, discipline, perseverance, goal-setting and a passion for continual improvement.

Vision

My vision as a youth soccer trainer is to be a catalyst for positive change in the lives of players just starting their soccer journey.  I aspire to create an environment where players can start to unlock their potential, discover their own strengths, and overcome challenges.  I envision myself as mentor, building strong relationships with the player and their parents providing trusted guidance to both navigating the youth soccer landscape.
