Soccer

I am an avid soccer fan and have played "the beautiful game" since I was 5 years old. As Assistant Coach at Huntington Beach High School (boys and girls varsity, 2012-2014) I was able to share my passion, teach skills and tactics, and guide students in developing a strong work ethic on and off the field.


My greatest passion is my family. I am grateful to have had the flexibility to be a hands-on parent to my son but am ready to take on a full-time career that builds upon my current skills/traits and offers an opportunity to learn and advance.
