I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old and on the Orange Pandas. Fast forward to college and I was once again wearing orange and black playing collegiate soccer for Lewis & Clark College. In between that time, I coached U12 Girls for three seasons when I was 16 while also playing club and high school ball. After I graduated from LC, I assistant coached the women’s college team while finding multiple outdoor, indoor, and futsal teams to play on in Portland. I currently play on soccer and futsal teams as well as train players individually.

Fav Futsal/Soccer Memory:

Everyone has a smile on and genuinely seems like they enjoy being at RCF.

Since moving to Portland, I have worked with new and experienced players from 18 months to adult. I have coached outdoor soccer since 2012 through Portland Parks & Rec and North Portland Soccer Club, and I have been a part of the RCF Soccer Stars, Youth Academy, and Adult Clinic programs since 2016. I grew up around baseball and football and eventually ran track and cross country in school, so I came to play, coach, and enjoy soccer much later in life, but I’m glad I have! It would have been difficult not to in Portland, with so much culture and opportunity to participate in the sport, and the futsal classes and league play at RCF are a great way to get involved, develop skill, and grow as a player and now as a coach.

Fav Futsal/Soccer Memory:
Using what can best be described as “the force” to slot a game-winning goal through traffic with 30 seconds to play. At halftime I consciously said to myself, “it looks like you might have to win this game,” and I told myself to be ready. When the moment arrived, I knew it, and I was.

Why RCF?:
The width and breadth of classes, league play, and developmental opportunities, from entry-level to competitive, young children to adult, make RCF a great place to learn and grow in the sport, for players, families, and coaches!
