I was born in the United States and grew up as a missionary kid in the Philippines. Although I accepted Christ at a young age, my faith became deeply personal during my college years. I began playing soccer early in life and had opportunities to compete throughout Asia.

I played four years of collegiate soccer at the University of Northwestern–St. Paul and graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. I later completed my Master of Business Administration at Cairn University in 2023. I have coached basketball and soccer for over a decade, working with athletes from youth through college levels.

Clemens and I met in Germany at SoccerCity, a youth soccer camp ministry, in 2022, and we were married in 2024. Our daughter, Charlotte “Charlie,” was born in August 2025. We currently live in Fullerton, where Clemens works as a mechanical engineer and volunteers as an Eagles coach, and I serve as a full-time mother and full-time Eagles staff member.

I participated in the Chicago Eagles Summer Academy in 2014 and immediately fell in love with the ministry. After that summer, I sensed God calling me to be part of MAI. In 2016, I completed the Chicago Eagles Residency program with a focus on the Summer Academy and subsequently joined the MAI staff.

While serving in the Chicago office, I held roles as Social Media Manager, U17 Girls Urban Coach, and Summer Academy staff member through 2022. In the fall of 2022, I relocated to Southern California to serve with the Eagles office (formerly the Seahorses). My primary responsibilities have centered on college programs, including USL2, WPSL, and the Summer Academy.

I have always had a heart for people and a deep love for the beautiful game of soccer. I am grateful that God has led me to MAI, where my passions have collided with the ultimate purpose of sharing Jesus with others. I belong to Jesus, and I belong on the pitch—and I am thankful to have found a place where those two come together.
