About
My passion is tennis, particularly because it involves three things I value in life: exercise, growth, and self-reflection.
I am a former DI tennis player (University of New Mexico) and I have 5+ years of high performance coaching experience in Denmark and Colorado. I possess a Full Professional Tennis Registry Certification.
