I have been coaching basketball for six years now. I have coached at multiple levels. I coached a girls varsity middle school team at Conchita Espinosa Acdemy in Miami, Fl. Following that, I coached at a facility called the Thunderplex in Doral. At Thunder, I coached multiple teams between the ages of 3-18 (Male and Female). I coached a boys 5th grade travel team at Thunder as well.

Throughout my coaching career at Thunder Athletics I also did one on one trainings with players from my teams and other teams in the league. My one on one training at the facility involved kids who ranged from the ages of 5-16 (male and female). One of my longest clients is a 17 year-old female who currently plays varsity basketball at St.Brendan High.

I have been playing basketball since I was 5 years old. I played at Tamiami for most of my childhood. When I reached 7th grade I began playing for the girls travel team named Thunder. We set many AAU records including best 7th grade team in the nation. When I entered high school, I made it directly onto the high school varsity team where I was awarded third team All Dade my freshman year and honorable mention the following years.

I enjoy teaching the fundamentals or what I like to call the "building blocks" of the game. For the younger athlete I start off with the basics about dribbling & shooting properly. From there I like to jump into lay ups, action drills, and defensive drills.
