About
My teaching philosophy revolves around building the confidence of my students. We will find the best version of your unique swing!
One of the greatest joys of my life is being a golf instructor. Watching my students take their game to new heights is what drives me to be the best instructor I can be. I love hearing about how well my students played after their lesson, or that they were finally able to hit that shot we were working on.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, I will ask a series of questions about your previous golf experience, athletic history, and past injuries. We will talk about short term goals for the lesson and long term goals you may have for your golf game. Then we will determine what swing and set-up improvements need to be made based on your current swing and goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a PGA Associate working towards my Class A PGA Certification.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
My Beginner Women's Clinic has been a popular clinic that has easily become my favorite hour of teaching during the week. This clinic has a great group of ladies who all have the same goal: to learn how to play golf! I host this clinic every other Saturday from 11am - 12pm. The maximum number of students is 6 per clinic. We review a different topic every week, from full swing to putting, and all the shots in between.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Choosing an instructor that will support your goals and understand your swing is crucial to having a successful teacher/student relationship.
Learning to play golf, or improving your game, will not happen overnight. Golf is a journey and your game will evolve over time. Like with any skill, the more instruction you receive, and practice you get in, the faster you'll improve.
