I'm very, very grateful for everything I've been able to do through football. When I look back at my career, my favorite thing of all is how fun it was.
I'd like to thank the fans at Bay FC - you made me feel welcome from the beginning, and I'm proud that I'll always be able to say I was there at the start of what I hope is going to be an incredible force in women's club soccer.
As a seasoned veteran, Jen was a tremendous representative of our club and the Bay Area.
