This year has been heavy. Heavy for me personally, heavy for my teammates & this club, and heavy for this league. Injuries and adversity are tough in sports, but so many things can be learned through having to persevere, navigate unknowns, and finding strength where you weren’t sure if you had any left. Every year is a different chapter in the book, while this one was one of the hardest for me it’s still a part of the story. I’ve grown in ways that I am not even sure how to put into words yet, but I trust in a God who works all things together for my good. He never promised it would be easy, but that He directs my steps. I rest in that truth. 

The one thing I wholeheartedly love about futbol and our job is the friendships I create. Without my teammates and friends, I wouldn’t have been able to get through the year and everything that’s happened surrounding our team. They are the reason I have loved my time in Chicago and have made the past few years enjoyable despite a lot of darkness. With all that we have been through, it’s remarkable that this team has been so successful and stayed committed and connected to each other. 💕

Not how we wanted our season to end, but the organization finally has the opportunity to rewrite the story of the Chicago Red Stars. When rebuilding anything you must dig up what is underneath, yank it out, and build a solid foundation that ensures the club will flourish for years to come. Digging up what lies below is painful and hard, but necessary to heal. While the future is unclear, I feel
optimism and excitement for this club’s potential✨

Thank you to our incredible fans and supporters all over. We love playing for you and the city of Chicago!! #MKOT ❤️
