With a Master’s in Sport Psychology from Florida State University, I’ve worked with athletes at all levels—from Division 1 to youth sports—helping them elevate their mental game and achieve peak performance. I also spent two years working full-time with the U.S. Army, where I helped soldiers enhance decision-making, focus, and attention in high-stress situations. Now, I bring my expertise to athletes privately, guiding them to unlock their full potential and perform at their best in any sport

I’m a former scholarship Division 1 athlete and a 4-time All-Big South honoree. Along with my team, I helped secure four consecutive Big South Cross Country Championships and a Big South Track and Field Championship in 2021. During my time at school, we consistently placed within the top 15 in the region, even beating out Power 5 teams. Before my track and field career, I grew up playing soccer, lacrosse, basketball, and diving, all on competitive travel teams until high-school.

My goal is to help athletes take full control of their performance by understanding how the mind drives success and using that to their advantage. I empower my athletes to guide each session, giving them the autonomy to share their thoughts and focus on their personal goals. I consider myself like a mental strength and conditioning coach, but for the mind —athletes may already be performing at a high level, but there’s always room for growth. Together, we unlock that mental edge, pushing them to new heights both in their sport and in life. I typically review how the athletes past week/ performance went and then build upon past topics to set a game plan for the athletes next week.
