About me

High-performance tennis player and coach with a current UTR of 11.95 in singles and 12.33 in doubles, competing at the professional level and having earned ATP ranking points in ITF competition. Former player and team captain at top NAIA programs in the United States, known for an aggressive baseline game built around heavy topspin, physical intensity, and strong competitiveness.

I combine my playing career with a strong academic background, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology & Kinesiology. This combination allows me to bring a unique approach to player development, performance optimization, mental resilience, and injury prevention.

In addition to competing professionally, I actively coach competitive players, design individualized training programs, travel to tournaments, and apply evidence-based principles in biomechanics, strength and conditioning, and athlete development.

My goal is to continue competing at the professional level while further developing as a high-performance coach, helping athletes maximize their potential both on and off the court.

Aims & Goals

My main goal is to establish myself consistently at the UTR 12+ level and transition into professional-level tournaments (ITF / Futures).

At the same time, I aim to continue developing as a high-performance coach, combining my academic background and on-court experience to help players maximize performance and prevent injuries.

Long-term, I want to build a career that combines professional competition with elite coaching at an international level.
