About
I trained at the Rafa Nadal Academy in 2023 and am a certified tennis professional through both PTR and USTA. I take pride in receiving five-star ratings from my students, who are consistently happy and rapidly improving. I have established strong connections with many high school tennis coaches in the area and am well-versed in the demands of high school team tennis.
As a parent of a junior at GOHS, where my son Erik plays as the #1 singles player on the Varsity Tennis team, I have firsthand experience with what it takes to excel and compete at this level. I believe that every student is unique and deserves an individualized approach tailored to their learning style. My teaching philosophy not only focuses on developing tennis skills but also fosters confidence that my students can carry with them beyond the court, empowering them to face life's challenges.
I genuinely value my students and find immense joy in witnessing their smiles after they master new skills. My goal is to help them build confidence on the court, which, especially for my junior students, translates into greater self-assurance in all areas of life.
