Experience

I started playing tennis at 7 years old but I stopped around 17/18 years old, after that I started reselling shoes from home and at the same time I started my first job in a shoe store. I worked there for like 8/9 months, then I discovered a padel club has opened in my city, (I didn’t know what that was at the time)and after the first match I loved it.

I then asked if they needed a new employee there because I’ve always wanted to work in the sports field. I enjoy all the sports and that’s why i don’t feel as if I’m going to work, since I love my job 🙂

I am a padel player since 2022 and a padel coach since 2023 , I still play in my free time at national tournaments where I am ranked 50th.
