"Great teacher! Very clear and concise. I learned a lot in just the first lesson. Really looking forward to the next one. Makes you feel relaxed and welcome.

I've been playing pickleball for over 4 years and currently hold a 4.24 DUPR rating. As a certified coach with the Professional Pickleball Registry, I specialize in helping beginners and intermediates build confidence, master fundamentals, and develop winning strategies. Whether you're brand new to the sport or looking to sharpen your doubles play, I'll tailor each session to your goals. My lessons are fun, approachable, and focused on measurable progress -- you'll leave each session with skills you can use right away. Personally, my preference is an attacking style of play. I try to create opportunities to end the point as fast I can by combining a variety of shots like topspin drives and low bouncing slices. Regardless, the important thing is how we can take your game to the next level. And that takes careful analysis of your stroke mechanics like how you hold your paddle and how you strike the ball. Strategies like creating patterns and baiting. Most important though is determining your goal as a player. Where do you want your level to be at? Let me be a part of that! Let's do it!
