I am a community-based soccer coach with over 10 years of experience and a 28-year playing background, currently holding a U.S. Soccer Grassroots D License and pursuing my C License. Through my work with Street Soccer USA and other local clubs, I have delivered free and low-cost soccer programming to youth from diverse and underserved communities.
I specialize in player-centered development, prioritizing long-term growth, confidence, and access to sport over short-term results. My programs emphasize consistent participation, skill progression, and social-emotional development, using soccer as a tool to build resilience, teamwork, and accountability.
Across my coaching roles, I have supported the development of hundreds of players, many of whom are first-time participants in organized sports. I focus on creating safe, inclusive environments that remove barriers to entry and encourage sustained engagement, particularly for girls and underrepresented youth.
My approach combines structured training, mentorship, and positive reinforcement, resulting in improved player retention, increased confidence, and stronger team cohesion. I am committed to continuous learning and community impact, using soccer not just to develop athletes, but to help shape confident, capable individuals.
