About Coach
Joy
I grew up in Seattle, Washington, where I’ve spent many years both coaching and playing soccer.
One of my proudest accomplishments is recently earning my US Soccer "B" License. I’ve also had the privilege of taking a team to the Valencia World Cup in Spain, coaching my college's club team to regionals, and collaborating with coaches in club, EPD, and youth academy settings.
Coaching at Eastside is a true joy, and I’m grateful to be surrounded by such an inspiring community of coaches, players, staff, and families. I believe that instilling confidence and bravery in players not only makes them better athletes, but better people both on and off the field.
Outside of coaching, I love photography, spending time with family and friends, and watching all kinds of sports. Go Niners!
