Assistant Editor

I was born and raised in Minnesota, but grew up supporting London's finest: Chelsea FC. I joined GOAL in 2023 after previously working with MLSSoccer.com (and others), and will be contributing to all U.S. Soccer-focused coverage as well as European football on the weekends. You can find me at a good local coffee shop, baking in the kitchen or checking out local music around the city.
