"I've been immersed in the racket sports world for over 20 years, starting with a long tennis career. My transition to pickleball in 2019 was sparked by a knee Injury. I was immediately captivated by the sport's competitive nature and the welcoming community. Recognizing my passion, I was encouraged to become a USA Pickleball ambassador. I stepped into the ambassador roll just before moving to St. Augustine In 2020. Certified by the Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR) in 2021, I began my new found career teaching pickleball. Starting with beginners, I gradually took on intermediate players and now enjoy teaching all levels. I find joy introducing new players to the game and watching their excitement grow with every match. In 2023, I partnered with Go Pro Tennis and Pickleball (located in Jacksonville Florida) and Selkirk as a brand advocate further enhancing my clinics with top quality gear. More than just the competition, it's the community connection and the transformative impact of pickleball on people's lives that fuel my passion for teaching and playing the game.
