Coaching

I coached with Vacaville High School football at my alma mater for the 2021–22 and 2022–23 seasons, helping athletes grow within the program. From 2021–2025 I also trained athletes independently and at Fitness Explosion, where I was the lead trainer for youth athletes—bringing the same habits, knowledge, and energy I learned through my own career and supporting young people in sport and beyond.

Rosie the Riveter Trust — Richmond

This work includes toy drives, mentorship days, guest speakers, and talks that meet young people where they are. I also continue mentoring former athletes and youth from other programs, building on the same commitment to growth, opportunity, and community.

Community Art Contributions

Main contributions include the Rocky Hill mural: I worked alongside lead artist Leslie Molera and helped guide youth artists from vision to finished wall. I spoke at the unveiling and again on MLK Day in Vacaville, CA. I also helped plan additional park art across Vacaville, including work at Trower Park.
