About your tennis coach

I began playing tennis in second grade, and from the start, I stood out—often chosen as the “kid coach” to help others learn the game. By middle school, I became the only 7th grader to play singles, a position usually reserved for 8th graders. After transferring schools in 8th grade, I earned the number one seed spot. As a freshman in high school, I made varsity and remained on the team for all four years, serving as team captain during my junior and senior seasons. Over that time, I competed at regionals twice in three opportunities, medaled 17 times—earning 6 gold, 6 silver, and 5 bronze—and was honored with the “Best Doubles Partner” award for my quick thinking and reflexes at the net, my strong serve, and my ability to develop effective game plans.
