I have just recently retired from teaching Middle School and High School Math for 35+ year. I will miss teaching and would like to continue by tutoring math. My teaching career is varied.

During that time, I also worked on curriculum committees, chaperoned week long trips and worked on my PhD in Math education.

About Me - I’m Danielle, a pickleball coach based in Oregon City. Pickleball, for me, is about the joy of moving, learning, and having fun together. I teach locally outdoors and in Troutdale for indoor lessons. Approach - I’ve spent six years creating a supportive, low-pressure learning space where players can grow at their own pace. Who I Coach - I work primarily with women of all ages and body types and athletic ability who want to learn with a growth mindset and kindness toward themselves. How Lessons Work - Each session is tailored to you. We choose one technical and one tactical skill to focus on, start with some rallying, and build from there. My Why - If you’re ready to learn, laugh, and grow, I’d love to help you take your next step on the court.

"I am blind in one eye but still really wanted to learn this game. With no depth perception, Danielle was able to help me learn the drills and skills to develop strong compensations in reading and responding to the ball. Her approach has helped me in leaps and bounds.
