I play pickleball for the love of the game — finding joy in every dimension it offers, from competition and fitness to connection and community. I’ve been immersed in the world of pickleball since 2021, developing my game to a 5.0+ level and coaching players across different skill levels and backgrounds. As a certified pickleball coach, I have worked with various organizations and clubs, helping new and experienced players sharpen their skills, develop strategic thinking, and enjoy the game’s fast-growing culture. My coaching style blends fundamentals with the creative freedom that makes pickleball both accessible and endlessly fun. By profession, I am an environmental scientist and international development expert with over 15 years of global experience in sustainability, climate resilience, and resource management. Off the court, I am a parent of three wonderful kids, and we call Annandale, VA our home — where pickleball has become part of our family’s rhythm of life. I also write about pickleball, sports culture, and the deeper meaning of athletic pursuit. My recent publications on Medium explore the spirit of the game and the origins of greatness in sports: • Do You Know Pickleball? — Read Here • Where Athletic Greatness Begins — Read Here For me, pickleball is not just a sport — it’s a movement, a mindset, and a growing community I’m grateful to be part of.


As a certified pickleball coach, I'm passionate about sharing the joy of the game with players of all ages and skill levels -especially beginner adults and youth. Whether it's teachng fundamentals, building confidence on the court, or just getting out to move, I aim to help players grow and have fun. My coaching style is energetic, encouraging, and rooted in creating a positive learning environment where everyone feels welcome. I’m also a cyclist and really just enjoy being outdoors. My work experience includes nutrition coaching which I plan to incorporate with each lesson. I value the importance of safety first - I have a certification in adult and child CPR/First Aid. Let's have fun and learn the sport of pickleball!
