I’m thrilled to begin my journey as the Head Coach of the Anoka High School Girls Soccer Program. For the past three years, I've had the privilege of being a part of this program as the Varsity Assistant Coach, and I'm excited to continue working with our dedicated coaches and talented players to further elevate the program.

With over 10 years of experience in club soccer and six years coaching high school soccer, my background also includes coaching in player identification programs like ODP and Reps, as well as managing programs at local soccer clubs. As much as I value teaching players about the game, I also place a strong emphasis on personal and professional development. I hold a US Soccer C License and a Coach Educator License, reflecting my commitment to continually improving my own coaching skills and helping others grow as coaches.

My coaching philosophy revolves around creating a player-centered environment where players can learn through experience. I believe in letting the game teach by presenting players with real-game challenges and problems. This approach gives them the chance to make decisions, problem-solve, and learn in the context of actual play.

Outside of coaching, I enjoy playing soccer, spending time with family and friends, and taking walks with my two dogs.

I’m looking forward to working with the team and helping our players grow, both as athletes and individuals, in the upcoming season!

This is my second year coaching here for the Anoka Girls Soccer Program, and I am so happy to be here. During the school year, I am a PE teacher at Anoka High School. I grew up playing soccer all my life, playing for various clubs and even played here at Anoka! I am excited for the season and to build relationships with our players!

Originally from Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, where I grew up playing at club & varsity level for many years. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for my undergraduate studies and relocated to the Twin Cities after accepting a job post-graduation at Polaris.

 

Soccer has been a part of my life for over 20 years, and I still play in several leagues today. I am currently coaching at Twin Cities Rush, working with ages 5 all the way up to 13 and am so excited for the opportunity to work with the girls at this next level! I’m looking forward to helping the players grow both on and off the field and help create a positive, team focused environment.
