Assistant Program Director Girls Division/ Coach
I am very passionate individual who works hard to get the most out of any opportunity given. Coaching has become a passion of mine that I take extremely serious and try to do all I can to make sure the sport is played the right way. I’ve coached for over 5 years. From my experience coaching, I’ve learned we must prepare our players to deal with adversity on and off the court, and most importantly every day we try and get better one day at a time one practice at a time one possession at a time on and off the court. Learning and developing doesn’t have an expiration date, every day we get better and learn from day before.
I am a finance professional specializing in both accounts payable and accounts receivable, currently working with a non-profit organization. With a strong attention to detail and a passion for accuracy, I ensure financial operations run smoothly and efficiently. My work is driven by a commitment to integrity and a desire to make a positive impact through mission-driven organizations. Outside of the office, I’m deeply passionate about helping children and contributing to causes that support youth development. I also find joy and balance in the outdoors, whether it’s hiking, exploring nature, or simply enjoying fresh air.
As a dedicated parent and volunteer, I am passionate about supporting young athletes both on and off the court. I believe in the power of basketball to teach teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Whether helping with team logistics, organizing events, or cheering from the sidelines, my goal is to create a positive and encouraging environment where every player can grow and succeed. I am committed to fostering a strong sense of community among players, coaches, and families, ensuring that our team thrives together.
I am a dedicated and passionate basketball coach with years of experience working with young athletes. I have coached at both the grade school and high school levels, helping boys and girls develop their skills, confidence, and love for the game.Beyond coaching, I love mentoring young athletes, learning new coaching strategies, and staying involved in the basketball community. My goal is to inspire the next generation of players, helping them develop the skills and mindset needed to succeed both in sports and in life.
I’ve been coaching AAU basketball for over 3 years with the NY Rim Rokaz. I’ve learned how to work with kids from ages 5 – 12 years old. I try to focus on fundamentals and let the players understand to learn from their mistakes and work to get better and better each day. At NY Rim Rokaz we put the athlete first and work on developing players and playing the game fundamentally sound.
As a member of the RimRokaz organization, my goal is to build confidence in young players. Allow them to believe in themselves and to challenge themselves every time they step on the court. Our goal is also academic as well. To be on this team, you aren’t just committed to the court but committed to the classroom. The introduction to the term “student athlete” begins here with me. The goal isn’t winning but growing as an individual and a program.
I’m honored to be an assistant coach for our youth basketball team. I’ve always had a passion for the game and for helping young athletes grow both on and off the court. My focus is on developing fundamentals, building confidence, and encouraging teamwork in a positive and supportive environment. Whether it’s running drills or cheering from the sidelines, I’m here to help every player improve, have fun, and fall in love with the game.
Rest in Peace and always will be remembered!
