About Me

I developed my tennis career in Argentina, one of the world’s top breeding grounds for high-performance players. My passion for coaching began early, alongside my own competitive journey. I’ve worked in the USA, Argentina, and China—leading programs, developing young talent, and recruiting athletes for U.S. colleges.

Outside the court, I enjoy studying biomechanics, exploring business ventures, and building international tennis networks. I’m fluent in Spanish and English, and I value professionalism, discipline, and growth in everything I do.

Fluent in English and Spanish, learning chinese and french. I bring a multicultural and results-driven mindset to every training environment. I hold a degree in Business Administration and multiple international coaching certifications (PTR, ITF, AAT, Sudamericano de Tenis, etc.).
