"That lesson with Alex was quite targeted and straightforward, really focusing on what we needed to improve without any fluff. It’s pretty clear she knows how to streamline the learning process, especially since she was able to highlight areas we hadn’t really pinpointed before. Though, I should mention, we don’t have another scheduled lesson yet, which is a bit of a gap. Still, I appreciate how effective his approach was, and I’m hopeful we can book more in the future.

Discover the joy of pickleball! I'm a seasoned player with years of experience coaching enthusiasts of all levels. My passion is fostering a fun, encouraging environment where players can learn new skills and reach their full potential on the court.

Originally from Rhode Island, I discovered my passion for racket sports early on and made the bold move to Hilton Head Island during high school to train at the Smith Stearns tennis academy. I went on to attend Sewanee: The University of the South, where I was a standout player, helping lead the women’s tennis team to a top-10 national ranking in Division III. After graduating in 2022, I pursued a career in nursing, but a new passion quickly took hold when my mom introduced me to pickleball. What began as a casual game turned into a full-blown obsession—I started competing in 5.0+ tournaments, racking up wins and eventually qualifying for a professional women’s doubles event. With two years of teaching experience and a PPR certification under my belt, I am now shifting my focus to the pro circuit, aiming to make my mark in the world of competitive pickleball. I’ve been coaching pickleball for two years, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s that learning works best when you’re having a blast. I bring energy, laughs, and plenty of real life knowledge to every lesson—whether we’re mastering the third shot drop or leveling up your net game. I love helping players of all levels get better, play smarter, and enjoy every minute on the court. If you're looking for a coach who knows their stuff but doesn’t take themselves too seriously, I’m your paddle-wielding partner in crime!
