- Why AU? "I am incredibly excited for the opportunity to work at American University. From the very beginning of the process, it was clear to me how committed and driven everyone on the search committee is. I am especially grateful to Katie Benoit, Patty Medina, and JM Caparro for trusting me with the future of the women’s soccer program. Their vision and commitment to athletics, and to women’s soccer specifically, were evident from day one. I am thrilled to begin working with our student-athletes and to introduce the goals, expectations, and vision that will guide our program moving forward. Our focus will be on preparation, consistency, and putting ourselves in the best possible position to succeed every single day."
