Born and raised in Arizona by two incredible parents, Barry and Holly, my sister Emma and I grew up in a loving, supportive home. From a young age, we developed a passion for the same sports our parents loved. I went on to play soccer at Messiah University, and Emma later followed me there to compete in volleyball.

Messiah had a profound impact on our family. It was there that Emma met her husband—and my teammate—Stefan, and where I first began to understand what it truly looked like to follow Jesus while playing soccer. Today, Emma and Stefan live in Pennsylvania, while Barry and Holly continue to call Arizona home.

After first being introduced to MAI through Chicago's Summer Academy internship in 2021, there has not been a year without it in my life. MAI was the place that showed me that a Christian community that loves excellence in soccer was not trapped at my college. When I finished my schooling in 2024, I wanted a place that continually sharpened and stretched me. God has been faithful in his presence while stepping into unknown waters. 

In my role as College Program Leader, I am building and leading our college platform around men's and women's teams, along with our Summer Academy internship program. I spend days networking in the university space – and ensuring that college coaches and athletes know the opportunities our organization provides for college players. I will also be working with our staff to shape the vision and future of Eagle’s ministry for collegiate athletes and integrate our college programs into the Eagle’s Ministry Pathway. In addition to the work I do with college athletes, I also get to help coach our many youth teams.
