Former Professional Player
Former NCAA Coach – D1 & D2
As a former college athlete and coach at both D1 and D2 levels, I know firsthand the incredible demands placed on athletes, both on and off the court. Having navigated the highs and lows as a player, and then guiding countless young talents as a coach, I’ve seen how deeply issues of identity, the pressure to perform, and the silent battles with mental struggles can impact a team. That’s why I became a CERTIFIED CHRISTIAN LIFE COACH—to offer a unique blend of elite athletic insight, coaching wisdom, and a holistic approach to help athletes not just excel in their sport, but truly thrive as individuals. I understand the journey because I’ve lived it, and I’m here to help athletes overcome these critical challenges, which in turn will undoubtedly elevate their performance and team culture.
High School & College Athletes
I work with female athletes on the mental side of the game — building confidence, leadership, resilience, and identity beyond performance.
Because strong athletes don’t just need physical training. They need tools to navigate pressure, setbacks, relationships, and who they are when the game gets hard.
If you’re a parent of a driven athlete and want her to thrive both on and off the court, my coaching can help.
