Further information

Tennis Professional Association (TPA)

I have nine years of coaching experience across Eastern Canada & the USA. I started coaching at the age 17 while competing & have taught children (ages 4-18) and adults at various levels from beginner to advanced. While competing on a tennis scholarship in the USA I also had the opportunity to give private lessons & be a hitting partner to children within the community.

With a lifelong dedication to tennis starting at the age of 4, I quickly developed a passion for the sport and demonstrated great promise as a junior player in the Ontario Tennis Association (OTA), winning numerous local tournaments. Overcoming setbacks caused by injuries, I channeled my determination into coaching and pursued a collegiate tennis career at Davis and Elkins College, competing at the NCAA Division 2 level before another injury redirected my focus to studying at the renowned John Molson School of Business, where I also had the opportunity to train and compete with Concordia University.
