I’m a center back currently competing at the NCAA Division I level, with experience playing for Utah Valley University (UVU), University of Central Arkansas (UCA), and Gardner-Webb University. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the game, especially from a defensive perspective, and I take pride in my leadership, positioning, and ability to read the field. As a player, I’ve always been vocal and disciplined — someone my teammates can count on. Now as a coach and mentor, I aim to bring that same energy to developing young players. I focus on teaching the fundamentals of defending, building confidence on the ball, and helping athletes grow both technically and mentally. Whether I’m training center backs to lead the backline or helping players understand the game at a higher level, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned and giving back to the sport that’s given me so much.

With a deep passion for tennis, I started my journey at 11, traveling internationally and quickly establishing myself as a top player. By 14, I was among the top 8 in Africa, and by 15, I earned two ATP points, placing me in the top 1500 worldwide. I achieved a career-high ITF Junior Circuit ranking of 400 and earned a scholarship to the University of Nevada, where I held the Number 1 spot in both singles and doubles for 5 years, with a UTR of 12.60, reflecting an advanced level around 5.5-6.0. While in college, I discovered a passion for coaching, which has become a lifelong pursuit. I’m dedicated to helping students improve their technical skills, fostering their love for tennis, and watching them grow both as players and in confidence.

I’ve been playing pickleball for four years and coaching for three, with experience competing regularly in tournaments. I play nearly every day and am deeply connected to the local pickleball community, particularly in the Arlington area. Sports have always been a central part of my life—incl8uding basketball, soccer, and table tennis—but pickleball has proven to be the most engaging, strategic, and social sport I’ve played.
