About
I have extensive experience working as a coach, teacher, and counselor with children aged 4-14 in San Francisco. Athletics are a great vehicle for learning, and it's great to see kids build confidence, improve health, and develop social/emotional skills through play. I believe coaching should be customized to individual players and their interests. My hope is to understand what your athlete would like to gain through sport, and help them to achieve their goals. I look forward to meeting your young athlete.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first step to assessing needs is a brief conversation with the child and parent. I then offer an assessment session to set goals and objectives, and create a scheule and strategy for coaching. The instructional approach for each athlete will consider your child's experience, ability and interest.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I played a variety of team sports throughout my education, and have experience coaching youth football, basketball, baseball and soccer. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Recreation, Parks, and Tourism, and am curently pursuing a Masters in Special Education at San Francisco State University.
