She graduated in 2008 with a degree in International Politics with a minor in Latin American Studies. After college, Fiona was drafted in the sixth round to the Chicago Redstars, but her love of travel and cultural experiences led her to Europe instead. There, she played professionally for ten years in the top leagues in Sweden, Germany, France, and England. During this ten year period, Fiona also represented the Irish National Team and remains the second all-time goal scored. Following her playing career, Fiona coached at USF, De Anza Force ECNL before joining SD in 2017.

Mark’s focus is always on the overall health and well-being of his athletes. “We don’t talk about winning,” he is often heard saying to athletes and parents. “We talk about taking care of the kids by showing them what hard work, accountability, dedication, good sportsmanship, and team unity look like, and the winning often comes out of that.”
