I grew up in Milton, Washington, with my parents, Tom and Cindy, and my two older sisters, Grace and Abby. We were very much a soccer family. My sisters and I all played in school and on club teams for years, and my dad coached all of our teams at different times, with my mom at nearly every game on the sideline, cheering us on or driving us to practices. None of us played in college, but I still loved to play pickup whenever I could and joined intramurals every chance I got with my friends. Growing up, I also had a love for watching YouTube, which really got me into filming and editing videos of my own—and ultimately pursuing a career in that creative space!

I was introduced to MAI during my time as a student at Biola University, in a soccer class I took with Paul Gizzi. I began helping coach for the SoCal Eagles for a few weekends and later God opened up an opportunity for me to be a creative intern with them the following summer in 2023. I returned the next summer to be a part of our Summer Academy and continue to do creative work in the summer, which eventually brought me to full time staff in 2025!

I serve as part of our creative team while also youth coaching primarily in our recreation soccer programs. I shoot, edit, and produce almost all of our Eagles content and help cast the vision and calendar for all the content we as a team put out. I love both sides of the job and feel blessed to work within this incredible ministry!
