OBJECTIVE
I am a future 2016 graduate of the University of Rhode Island. After four years as a student-athlete at
URI and also as a two-time member of the Puerto Rico National Team, I have gained much experience
at a high level of basketball. My goal as a coach is to create relationships with female student-athletes
and not only help them become better basketball players, but most importantly, better women.
