Message to Chattanooga FC's fans
"I am really excited to play with the team. I've worked with Associate Head Coach Maryn Beutler before and loved the coaching style and atmosphere on and off the field. The idea of having a huge fanbase is certainly exciting as well.
"It brings me joy knowing that my sport can bring people together and that other people love watching us play almost as much as we love playing the game. Ultimately, I play because I love the game, but I'm so thankful I get to share that with others, fans and team-mates. Coming from the the Mines women's soccer team where the camaraderie off the field was one of the team's strengths, I'm thankful for the opportunity to play for a club that also values building relationships off the field just as much as performance on the field."
