I have been coaching youth and high school sports for 7 years. I'm the girls varsity lacrosse coach at Taft High School. The team had the most successful season in program history, advancing to a state playoff game for the first time in program history. I have also coached youth lacrosse and have coached at many different camps throughout New York State.

I ran division 1 track for 4 years at Butler University where I was captain my senior year. I played club lacrosse for 5 years on Long Island and was a member of the Yellowjackets, a nationally ranked club lacrosse team. I was a starting midfielder on my club team and could also drop back to play defense or move up to attack when needed.

My session plan depends on the individual. Before having the first session, I would like to take a few minutes to cover where the athlete is at, and what they’d like to work on. Dependent on that I will then decide what kind of session would be best to improve the player’s skills and meet their goals. It depends on the individual and where they want to excel. I've worked with clients on different areas such as stick skills, cradling, passing, and checking.
