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 and was a late starter into the club level. ​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. Unfortunately, I tore my ACL in a club game in the Fall of 2022 and tore it again a year later in a training session in the fall of my senior year of high school. This injury kept me out my freshman year of college and I had my knee scoped in the spring of 2025. Watching 3 seasons now (2 ECNL/High School & 1 UC San Diego) from the sidelines has given me a unique perspective. Getting to this level is the product of countless hours of practice between sessions with the "right" trainers and coaches.
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 girls 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'm reasonably tough but encouraging, always striving to give each player the individual guidance they need to help them compete into the next level of their soccer journey.

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
In a world often clouded by rhetoric and misconceptions about gender equality, my vision is to foster an environment where gender equity flourishes naturally. How? I strive to empower young girls to embrace their potential and reimagine the boundaries of what they can achieve.
My goal is to play a meaningful role in their early journey by instilling confidence through soccer—not necessarily to groom a professional athlete, but to lay a foundation that promotes also courage in the classroom, ambition in higher education, and boldness in leadership.
My trainers and mentors once did this for me, and I dream of a future where these young women grow into business leaders, innovators, and visionaries who inspire others, and drive change.
