  • I have been involved with football as a player and a coach for over 20 years. I bring Experience, Enthusiasm, Structure, Creativity and an Appetite for Success. I possess excellent communication and player-management skills. My aim is to engage with players whatever their gender, age, ability or individual motivation. To build confidence and empower players to realise their full potential to play the beautiful game.
    Throughout my coaching career it has been my goal to give as many players as possible, regardless of age or ability, the opportunity to play football in a setting where they felt comfortable and were able to achieve their own personal goals as well as those of their team.
    In 2018 I was employed as assistant coach for the Football New South Wales Country Under 15 Girls that participated in the Football Federation Australia (FFA) National Youth Championships at Coffs Harbour.
    I run and manage a successful Futsal business providing opportunities to over 300 children and over 50 adults to play Futsal at a competitive level in Wagga Wagga. As part of our commitment to local futsal we also run development training session to identified players during school terms, this program is highly attended.
    This led to me being appointed as Country New South Wales Under 13 Girls Coach for the FFA National Futsal Championships in January 2017 and Country NSW Under 15 Girls Coach for the FFA National Futsal Championships in January 2018 and 2019.
    In 2018 I was employed by Wagga City Wanderers, in season 2019 I coached the Women's National Premier League (WNPL) Under 17 Girls and 2019 - 2022 I was the senior coach of First Grade WNPL.
    I am currently employed as the Technical Director for the Female Football Program for Canberra Croatia Football Club and have been in the role since 2022.
    Since commencing the role with Canberra Croatia I have taken the lead at the club and run an extensive scouting system to bring players into our program from regional areas, different states and from overseas with a good level of success.
