Determined to continue growing as a coach, I moved back to the United States and began coaching at Barry University. I was fortunate to be part of a team that won the NCAA Division II Championship. I also earned a Master’s degree in Movement Science, further refining my understanding of athlete’s development and performance. Later, I had the privilege of coaching at the University of Southern California (USC), where I discovered a passion for recruiting and further honed my abilities to build strong, personal relationships with athletes and parents. At USC, I recruited top athletes from elite U.S. rowing clubs such as RYE, CRF, Greenwich, Saugatuck, Newport…, as well as from some of the most prominent rowing nations around the world, including Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Australia, Italy, Denmark, the Czech Republic… This experience gave me a unique, global perspective on the recruiting process and underscored the importance of finding the right academic and athletic fit for each athlete!

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some of the best coaches and athletes from around the world, ranging from those at the national level to Olympians. These experiences have provided invaluable insights into all aspects of rowing—from foundational development to elite competition. The friendships I’ve built along the way are priceless, and the lessons I’ve learned continue to shape my approach to coaching and recruiting. Today, I’m dedicated to using my knowledge and experience to help athletes navigate the recruiting process and reach their best rowing performance!
