Do you know Pickleball? I am PPR Certified Coach and Pickleball Nerd. I live in Fairfax and my home court is George Mason University, however I will travel within an hour of my location. What makes me unique is the following: >Video taping of your performance >Lessons to take home for you and your friends > I don't just do drilling, but make it fun by incorporating games into you practice >We will go over technique, Strategy, and placement of our shots > I will even nerd out and talk to you about what kind of paddle you should be using. >Available morning, mid day, and evenings with enough notice!
"Thank you for going over strategy. Now I know where I should be hitting this ball in certain situations.

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.
