I'd Be Honored to Guide Your Student-Athlete to Their Best Next Step
As a coach, athlete, and mother with over three decades of experience, I understand the hopes and fears that come with nurturing a student-athlete. You're not just looking for a college; you're looking for the right fit for your child's future—academically, athletically, and personally.
From Athlete to Coach: My Journey
My passion for sports ignited on an early Saturday morning in 1972 when I lined up for a 50-yard dash at a college track. That was the moment I decided never to look back and to be first in everything I strived for. From earning All-American honors in collegiate field & track to coaching championship-winning athletes at California Polytechnic State University, I have lived and breathed athletics at every level.
The Heart of a Mother
My most rewarding coaching experience has come from raising four children and guiding them in their favorite sports. I've spent 16 years coaching at the youth level, helping young athletes reach the highest level of competition their skill, talent, interest, and family support would allow.
Building Community
wide rangeService extends beyond the field for me. I've been a part of numerous boards and nonprofit organizations, contributing to a wide-range of community improvement causes. I recently retired as an Assistant Coach at San Luis Obispo High School, focusing on providing holistic opportunities for student-athletes.
Beyond Sports
When I take off my coaching hat, I indulge in my artistic pursuits—I play piano, perform with a cover band, and even dabble in painting. Because even discipline needs a visionary break sometimes.
