About Me:
I started playing at the age of 4. I won a club championship at 15, a CIF Division 1 title with my high school team, and an NCAA D1 national championship with my college team at the University of Southern California in 2016. I played all 4 years of my college career, earning an All-American and Defensive Player of the Year award during the process. I was drafted 4th overall in the 2017 National Women's Soccer League draft where I played for 1.5 years. Then went to play in France for 3 years, ending my career playing in the top division in France.
How I can help you improve your game:
I believe I can help someone improve their game by passing on the knowledge that was taught to me! Additionally, because I am so familiar with the game, I believe that I can break complicated tactics, movements, and techniques down to an easily understandable instruction. Therefore, making it easier for the someone to understand the complexities of certain parts of the game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I like to start the training session off with a bit of skills right away, because without the basics we can't move on. Then I like to work in some ball movement, and get faster with every rep. Finally, I like to make the last drill the largest, distance wise, and see the skills translate to the game like settings of the bigger drills.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have worked with all athletes in group settings and on an individual basis.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I have ever had was my club coach, Walid Khoury. He believed in me more than I ever believed in myself, while also holding me to a higher standard that I didn't know I had in me. He was the best and we have a great relationship to this day.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I believe details are what make the the player. If the details aren't right, we have to be willing to fix it, then keep practicing it until it becomes habit.

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!
