I’ve been coaching for four years, starting with my kids’ recreational teams. What began as a fun way to stay involved turned into a passion when I realized the impact I was making. I’ve head-coached and assisted with AAU clubs, working with 4th and 5th graders for two years, and I currently coach elementary students in grades K-5 through an afterschool enrichment program where I also serve as the director of operations. My basketball journey started at Gonzaga Prep, and I continued playing recreationally throughout college at the University of Washington. As an adult, I’ve stayed active by participating in various sports leagues, including basketball, volleyball, soccer, flag football, and even kickball! Beyond sports, I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family, and cheering on my three middle school kids, who are all multi-sport athletes. When I’m not coaching or watching my kids games, you’ll often find me downhill mountain biking, snowboarding, or relaxing with my pets—a playful pug and two Maine Coon cats.
