My favorite part about coaching is providing a safe and fun environment for my team and seeing their progression throughout the season. My main goal as a coach is to make a difference in at least one kid's life like some of my coaches did for me growing up. Fun fact about me is that I love music and art (I’m actually the social media manager for the organization and the one making these posts)! I also have a beautiful rescue dog named Stella.

I am so excited for the changes happening this season. We will have a great year!"
