Playing Experience
I was raised in Seattle, Washington, where my soccer journey began with Seattle United ECNL, which fostered my passion for the game and introduced me to competitive youth soccer. My career progressed after a standout performance at a USL Championship combine, earning me the opportunity to play for FC Tulsa. Later, I returned to Seattle, where I continued to compete at a high level in the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA) with Space United, further honing my skills in professional league play.
Off the Field
I am deeply committed to giving back to my community and being a positive role model for the next generation. Having grown up in a low-income family, I understand the barriers to success many children, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds, face. Access to quality soccer programs and coaching is often limited for these families, and I am passionate about changing this through the sport. I believe that by providing opportunities for growth and development, we can help shape a better future.
Coaching Career
My coaching career has given me the opportunity to work with players across a wide range of age groups and skill levels. I currently serve as Head Coach for Mercer Island FC U19 and Bellevue United FC B12, where I lead the development of players both technically and mentally. I previously served as an Assistant Coach at Rainier Beach High School, supporting the growth of young athletes’ technical and tactical skills. I also had the privilege of coaching at the Ballard FC Youth Summer Camp, helping players from top youth clubs refine their game. In addition, I worked as an Assistant Coach with The Rising Point Program, where I led futsal sessions for elementary and middle school students. At Rising Point, our mission is to deliver high-quality, accessible soccer education that engages and empowers young players in their pursuit of excellence.
