I am a high-level 4.4-rated pickleball player with strong skills in both doubles and singles. My background as a college lacrosse athlete and coach has given me a solid foundation in teaching and strategy, which I now bring to the pickleball court. I am excited to help beginners and intermediate players improve their game. I’ve already been teaching through referrals and requests from friends, and I look forward to helping more players develop their skills and love for pickleball!
