About Me:
I began playing lacrosse at 6 years old, and consistently played until my Junior year of college. I played at the rec, travel, club, high school, and collegiate level. I was recruited to play on the Division 1 Mount Saint Mary's women's lacrosse team, where I spent two years as an attacker. I transferred my junior year to UMD College Park to pursue pre-dental, which unfortunately also led to the end of my lacrosse career.
How I can help you improve your game:
If you do not have the basics down, then it would be a waste of time to spend time practicing more advanced skills. Even the most talented players can benefit from repetition. I will progressively add more challenges to the basics, until the basics (like catching and throwing) become second nature. A variety of offense/defense drills will work to develop your skills and improve your accuracy, confidence, and decision-making.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
After a quick dynamic warm-up without any equipment, the athlete and I will transition into a partner passing stick-work routine. Following this, the rest of the training session will vary on a daily basis based off of the needs of the athlete. The drills that I choose to incorporate will work to improve some of the athlete's weaknesses, and/or build off of their strengths.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have had experiencing coaching at the club level, and in smaller groups as well. I was an assistant coach for a NEMS Lacrosse Club team for a summer while in college. Additionally, I have coached in smaller groups for a 5-week summer camp.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my college lacrosse coach. She made an effort to have a personal relationship with every one of her players, which she was then able to build off of as a coach. She pushed us physically and mentally on a daily basis, but I never doubted that she believed in me. She would offer constructive criticism and praise when necessary, and was our biggest cheerleader.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a very positive, caring, energetic person who is passionate about lacrosse and fitness! I believe every player has potential to be an amazing athlete, and I will be their biggest cheerleader as we work together to make them stronger in their sport.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
