I’m a passionate and energetic tennis coach who loves making lessons fun, engaging, and tailored for kids ages 7 –12. Every session is different—filled with creative drills, games, and challenges that keep young players excited while helping them build solid fundamentals and confidence on the court. I’ve been coaching my daughter since she was 5 years old, guiding her through red, orange, and now green ball stages. She currently competes in USTA junior tournaments and has won tournaments and matches against older players. This hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of how kids develop and stay motivated in tennis. In addition to coaching, I’m an active competitive player myself, participating in USTA tournaments and adult leagues. Last year, I was ranked #1 in Women’s 4.0 in the Southern States, an achievement that reflects my commitment to continuous improvement and love for the game. I’ve worked with kids of different ages and skill levels, and my goal is always to create a positive, supportive environment where every child learns, has fun, and develops a lifelong passion for tennis.
