Mental performance practitioner with a background in sport, coaching, and athlete development, dedicated to helping individuals perform at their highest level when it matters most. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Sport Management from Eastern Illinois University and completed my master’s degree in Performance, Sport and Exercise Psychology at the University of Illinois Chicago (2026). I am currently working toward my certification as a Mental Performance Consultant.
My experience spans over years in the management and fitness industry, along with extensive coaching experience in basketball at both the youth and elite high school levels. As a former collegiate basketball player, I bring a firsthand understanding of the mental demands, pressures, and challenges athletes face in competitive environments.
My passion for mental performance comes from a desire to help others move through the moments that feel most difficult—the moments where doubt, pressure, and adversity show up the most. I aim to support athletes in building flexibility and clarity needed not only to perform at a high level, but to do so consistently and with purpose.
I work with athletes & performers across all levels of competition. My work focuses on helping athletes develop the mental skills necessary to navigate pressure, overcome internal barriers, and take consistent, values-driven action in pursuit of their goals. My approach to is more of a collaborative way, placing emphasis on doing what is best for the athlete. In attempt to take their game from a base functioning level to an elite high functioning level through mental training.
A typical session usually consists of building rapport, applying a mental skill in session and practicing in session. Debriefing this skill to see how effective this could be for the athlete. Giving the athlete something to take away from our sessions to practice and apply in their sport domain.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
