Start:
I was introduced to tennis in 1996 at age 9 and began playing tournaments by 1997 or 1998.
Competition:
I competed in junior tournaments through high school graduation in 2005, followed by college tennis from 2005–07. From 2011–2015, I played Futures, Nationals, and Prize Money events—earning a spot in the USTA Top 500 from 2012–15 and reaching the Top 150 in 2013.
Coaching:
I’ve been coaching tennis since 2004, starting out as a teenager helping with summer camps. It was a great early mentorship, and over time, it grew into private lessons, hitting with top juniors, and eventually leading roles in Academy and Junior Development programs.
