Our Story
& Mission
Fieldtalk Foundation was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves access to the transformative power of soccer and community.
Community-Driven Roots
Fieldtalk Foundation grew out of grassroots community work—pickup games, neighborhood gatherings, and a shared love for the beautiful game. We witnessed firsthand how soccer brings people together across all walks of life.
The foundation was established to formalize and expand this community impact, creating sustainable programs that provide free access to soccer, support youth development, and amplify local voices through media and storytelling.
While connected to Fieldtalk's broader community and media initiatives, the foundation exists specifically to serve our community-focused mission. This relationship is transparent, values-aligned, and built on shared commitment to positive impact.

Board Member
Raised by a single mother of three, I developed an early understanding of the barriers many youth and families face in underserved communities. I have held leadership roles in athletics, the arts, and student organizations throughout my academic career, and gained professional experience in event planning, operations management, and community outreach. For the past four years, I have coached, and led soccer activations across the greater Los Angeles area, and I currently bring two years of experience as a health organization Operations Manager. Community growth, on and off the field, is both my passion and my purpose.
