Bio: COACHING EXPERIENCE: I have experience coaching boys and girls ranging from 4-40 years old. I was a coach in San Francisco for an organization called SF Glens FC, and then I started coaching private lessons in Orange County after playing college soccer at BIOLA University. I also coached a girls Chealsea OC soccer club in Orange County Southern California in 2024. But my passion is being a private coach, which I have been for 5 years now. I love watching people progress quickly and seeing their confidence boost as a result of it. ATHLETIC HIGHLIGHTS: I played 4 years of collegiate soccer on scholarship. I played 1 year at Academy of Art University from 2014-2015, and I played 3 years at Biola University from 2015-2017. Post Collegiate Recognition: 2018 I was offered to play PDL (Semi-pro) for the So Cal Seahorses which I turned down because at the time I was also speaking with USL (Professional) coaches who said I was good enough for professional level. I tore my ACL prior to going pro, and since recovering I found a passion for coaching.
