I have been involved in competitive soccer since the age of 8 and have developed a strong understanding of the game through years of high level play. As a former NCAA Division I soccer athlete at Northeastern University I understand the technical, tactical, and mental demands required to compete at a elite level. I currently conduct private training sessions, small group sessions, and clinics under Cesar's ProTouch where I work with athletes at all levels, from beginners developing foundational skills to advanced players preparing for competitive club, high school, and collegiate soccer. Prior to Cesar's ProTouch I coached under Gaines with Haimes where I instructed both individual and group sessions. I typically work with athletes ranging from ages 6-18 as well as collegiate players seeking supplemental training.

I competed at the NCAA Division I level as a member of the Northeastern University Women's Soccer Team. During my collegiate career we advanced to two conference finals and a conference semifinal. Internationally I represented the Jamaican Youth National Team at both the U17 and U20 levels in the World Cup Qualifiers. I also competed semi-professionally in the WPSL with FC Surge. Earlier in my career I was selected for the Florida Olympic Development State Team and I was also a U.S Soccer Training Center Invitee. At the high school level I served as captain my junior and senior seasons for American Heritage High School and helped lead the team to two state championships.

A typical session with me is high intensity, detail oriented, and game realistic. I tailor the session to the individual and what they want to work on. I begin with a dynamic warm up incorporating a ball to activate the body and sharpen technical touches. From there I move on to some technical work that the athlete may need such as passing combinations, first touch development, finishing patterns, and 1v1's attacking moves. Quality repetitions at game speed are emphasized to translate into real match situations. I add conditioning within the drills to replicate the physical demands of competition. Every session ends with a competitive challenge to stimulate game intensity and reinforce accountability.
