About
I am a LPGA Life Member and ranked as one of the Top 50 Women Teachers in America by Golf Digest. One of the Top 50 Teachers in the Country by Edwin Watts. One of NJ Favorite Teachers by NJ Golf Styles Magazine.
I love simplifing the game so that students can have more fun playing the game of golf. I specialize in beginners and truly have a blast watching them go from "afraid to start" to "can't get enough" of the game.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I determine the students goals, what they have worked on in the past, where they are struggling and how much time they have to practice. During the lesson, I detemine what are the best few things to work on. At the end of the lesson I make sure the student understands what he or she needs to do to improve.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Life Member of the LPGA and have taught alongside and learned from some of the greatest teachers in the country: Jim Flick, Martin Hall, Mike Malaska, Charlie Epps, Tom Ness, John Elliot, to name a few.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $120 per hour for individual lessons. $60 for a half hour lesson.
How did you get started teaching?
I have played golf since I was very little (my dad was a golf pro). I competed nationally at the age of 13, played collegiate golf and then went to compete internationally as a professional. I played on the European, Australian, South African, and American tours. After I got married, my husband and I opened up golf academies in South Florida while we taught for the Nicklaus/Flick Golf Schools.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with new golfers, high-handicap and low-handicap golfers, men and women, kids as young as 3 and adults as old as 80.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I suggest students review a teacher's experience as well as whether they competed themselves. I think teachers who have put their own golf game to the test and competed make the best teachers.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should ask if the instructor teaches a method - as in teaches each student the same. Also ask if the teacher uses video which is a valuable visual aid.
