Welcome to my website and thank you. Since 1st March 2006, we have received 172,000 hits, so there's an obvious need for National Women's team soccer news. This site is now the longest running WNT players' blog in Canada with over 1,000 written entries.

I started playing soccer at 5 years old, and I have been fortunate to play for, and against, some of the world's best teams and players. As women's soccer continues to grow, many young women have set their sights on the game at the highest level. My site will provide regular news, not just about Canadian soccer matches, but insights into what it means to be a woman player. I will post background stories about my Clubs, my travels, my teams, FIFA World Cups, Tournaments, test matches and the Olympic Games.
