I bring over 12 years of basketball coaching experience, working with athletes across all levels—from youth beginners to professional players. I’ve coached boys and girls ages 6–17, as well as men’s and women’s professional athletes in Europe, giving me a well-rounded perspective on player development at every stage.

As the owner and Head of Individual Training at The German Basketball Akademie, I spent five years building and leading a program focused on skill development, fundamentals, and game performance. My approach emphasizes not just technical growth, but confidence, decision-making, and preparation for high-pressure moments.

In addition to hands-on coaching, I’ve held leadership roles at the collegiate and international levels. I served as Director of Operations for the Santa Clara University Women’s Basketball program (2021–2022), and went on to work with USA Basketball as Managing Director for the Women’s 3x3 Olympic Program (2022–2025).

Basketball is truly my passion, and I’m dedicated to helping athletes develop the skills, mindset, and confidence needed to perform at their best when it matters most.

I was named a McDonald’s All-American and WBCA All-American in 2010 while playing at Great Oak High School, where I established myself as one of the top high school players in the country. In 2025, I was honored to be inducted into the Great Oak High School Hall of Fame.

I began my collegiate career at UC Berkeley Women’s Basketball, competing at the Division I level for two seasons before transferring to Gonzaga University Women’s Basketball, where I played three seasons and continued to develop at a high level.

Following college, I played professionally in Germany for five years, gaining international experience and competing against top talent in Europe.

The athlete always comes first. Every player’s game is unique, and I tailor each session to meet individual needs and goals.

For younger athletes, we focus on building a strong foundation by developing all areas of the game—ball handling, shooting, footwork, and overall fundamentals. I believe in creating well-rounded players early on, so guards learn post moves and bigs develop ball-handling skills.

For more advanced and older players, sessions become more position-specific and game-focused, emphasizing decision-making, efficiency, and in-game situations.

Having played and trained at every position throughout my career—including professionally—I bring a deep understanding of how both guards and post players think, move, and perform on the court.
