Past Coaching Responsibilities:

- Hawaii Olympic Development Program - I was the Hawaii ODP goalkeeper coach for two years. I was responsible for conducting goalkeeper sessions for all Hawaii ODP goalkeepers. In addition, I traveled to Arizona to assist in warming up the goalkeepers on match day and analyzing them. I also was in charge of providing the Hawaii ODP goalkeepers with feedback at the end of the tournament.

- I also run private goalkeeper sessions as well as goalkeeping clinics on the Big Island of Hawaii.


- Playing Career - I played competitive youth soccer in Northern California. After graduating high school, I continued my playing career at Canada College in Redwood City, California. I won back-to-back most valuable players award as well as helped my team win the Coast Conference Championships. After graduating, I decided not to pursue my final two years as I lacked belief that I was good enough. I chose to play in many competitive women leagues within the Bay Area California where I had the privilege to play with many talented division 1 and 2 soccer players from around the Bay Area. I continued my playing career playing in coed leagues, indoor leagues and mens leagues. I still play as of today and I travel to Las Vegas to play in adult soccer tournaments.

My strongest passion in life is to Develop, Inspire and Educate youth goalkeepers. To make an impact on a young kids life and to know you have helped them accomplish their goals, is the most rewarding thing.
