Howdy!
I’m someone whose life was completely changed by faith in Christ, and that transformation led me to start Coached by Christ—a platform where I bring together my coaching experience and Christian values to help others find purpose, healing, and growth in their own lives.
​
Before coaching full-time, I spent years advocating for survivors of domestic and sexual violence and served the homeless through Helping Houston’s Homeless. Those experiences shaped how I lead today—with empathy, grit, and a heart for service. I’ve coached volleyball at every level—college, high school, middle school, and club—and through that journey, I’ve learned a lot about leadership, mentorship, and what it really means to build a team.
​
In 2023, I earned a graduate certificate in Christian Ministry from Liberty University to complement my MBA. That same year marked the end of a long medical journey—four surgeries in two years for volleyball-related injuries, plus a long recovery from prescribed medications that deeply affected my ability to think, speak, and lead. At one point, even getting through a 75-second timeout felt impossible with my brain fogged by Gabapentin and Amitriptyline. But by God’s grace, I’m finally on the mend.
​
Today, I’m more committed than ever to helping athletes reach their fullest potential—not just athletically or academically, but as people. Whether or not they share my faith, I want every athlete I coach to know they matter and have a purpose. Coaching isn’t just something I do—it’s a calling I want to honor with integrity and obedience, not just personal instinct.
​
And just to be clear—Coached by Christ isn’t about me. It’s about doing what’s right for the people we, as leaders, are entrusted with. In today’s culture, so many Christian coaches and students feel pressure to stay silent about their beliefs out of fear—of judgment, of being misunderstood, or even losing their jobs. I want to be honest about my own spiritual journey in the hope that it encourages someone else—a coach, an athletic administrator, or a student-athlete—to lead boldly, faithfully, and with love. My goal is to write and speak in a way that invites everyone in, without excluding anyone.
