My love of the beautiful game began when I was seven years old, and got up in the middle of the night in my native New Zealand to watch an FA Cup final with my father, a Liverpool FC fan. That sparked a decades-long fandom that has since seen me work for professional clubs in the NWSL and USL in Colorado, North Carolina, Maine, and Oregon, the state I have now twice called home. I love the Beautiful Game for its ability to unite the world and bring together fans of all ages and backgrounds – when you’re a fan of any one club, you’re automatically part of a global community.

When I’m not at the stadium you’ll find me out on Oregon’s hiking trails, lakes, and rivers enjoying nature; or cheering for any one of New Zealand’s national teams on the world’s stage (shoutout to our six-time women’s rugby world champions!).
