About Me:
I am a lifelong basketball player with a rich and diverse athletic background. I was a four-year varsity starter and three-year captain at Notre Dame Academy in Hingham, earning Patriot Ledger All-Scholastic honors in 2014, 2015 and 2016, and was recognized as the Notre Dame Academy Scholar-Athlete in 2016. At the University of Virginia, I continued my basketball journey on the Women's Club Basketball team. I was a three-year starter and served as President in 2016. Additionally, I excelled in high school as a member of the cheerleading and track and field teams, earning Patriot Ledger All-Scholastic recognition in track in 2016. I currently coach as a way to invest in the next generation of players and stay connected to the game I love!
How I can help you improve your game:
To help a player improve their game, I can tailor sessions to each player’s individual needs and goals, using my observations to address their specific strengths and areas for improvement. I can apply my background in various sports and coaching roles to provide a well-rounded perspective, helping players not only improve their basketball skills but also their athleticism and mental toughness. I also can incorporate essential drills for dribbling, shooting, and conditioning to build well-rounded skills and enhance overall performance.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session is tailored to the player's specific needs and goals, informed by both their feedback and my observations of their strengths and areas for improvement. Each session consistently includes drills for dribbling, shooting, and conditioning to ensure comprehensive skill development and overall fitness.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have extensive coaching experience across various levels and organizations. I have served as a skills coach for players aged 5-15, helping them develop their fundamentals and improve their game. I’ve also coached recreation league basketball, focusing on player development and team dynamics. Additionally, I led practices and games for the University of Virginia Women's Club Basketball team, where I honed my ability to strategize and motivate players in a collegiate setting.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I’ve ever had was my AAU coach. He truly embodied the essence of dedication and leadership. His emphasis on hard work was transformative, demonstrating how commitment could lead to significant personal improvement and increased playing time. What set him apart was his genuine care for each player’s success, both on and off the court. He instilled in us the importance of defense and guided our team to an AAU state championship. His belief in us and his strategic approach left a lasting impact on my approach to the game and my development as a player.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Parents and athletes should know that I bring a diverse background to the table. As a three-sport athlete in high school (cheerleading, track and basketball), I understand the demands and dedication required to excel in different areas. My experience transitioning from a forward to a point guard has taught me adaptability and the importance of understanding various roles on a team. I maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate the needs of my players, and my commitment is to help each individual reach their full potential. My goal is to support and push every player to be their best, both on and off the field.

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!
