I grew up playing soccer in socal, moved to PDX for college and started the club soccer program at PSU. Later started to coach at RCF in 2016 and then got the opportunity to go play professional futsal for Perugia Futsal Femminile in Italy, where I played for a year and a half. My first season I was in the top 10 goal scorers in my league. When I returned to PDX I came back to RCF and now coach everyday.

Favorite Futsal/Soccer Memory:

Scoring a game winning goal when my parents came to watch me play in Italy.

RCF staff is one big family and getting to work with like minded people everyday who love the game and want to grow it in the US is a huge bonus to getting to work with kids everyday.

I’m continuing to learn and that helps me to develop what kind of coach I want to be. I felt like this was a good year to push for a lot of growth on my end but at the same time I’m ready to bring a ton of variation to the program.
