On the sideline, she built her reputation as one of the game's most trusted leaders by serving as long-term Interim Head Coach of the U.S. Women's National Team before helping the program capture Olympic gold as an assistant coach. Crucially, her greatest defining moments transcend the scoreboard: from grassroots soccer to college athletics to the international stage, she has spent her career building the player pathways, leadership systems, and team cultures that outlast any single result. This relentless commitment to developing people, not just performance, now shapes her work as Technical Director for the Houston Dash, where she builds the organizations and opportunities that let the next generation of women in the sport rise. She isn't just coaching the game, she's building the game, creating conditions for others to thrive long after she's gone.
