Hello and thank you for checking out my tennis profile!

Please contact me to discuss date and time availability as I can possibly work with other times not listed under my "availability" (preferably before booking). I currently teach lessons only at 2600 Eureka Rd, Roseville 95661.

My tennis history! I started to play tennis when I was 5 years old. I began playing tennis tournaments at age 8. I was a top ranked junior tennis player in California and nationally in the United States. In junior tennis, I played in the Maze Cup, Zonals, Easter Bowl, and Orange Bowl (to name a few). I received a full tennis scholarship to Penn State (or more formally known as, The Pennsylvania State University), a Division I school. I played tennis all four years of college at Penn State, where I played both singles and doubles.

I have coached group, semi-private, and private lessons. I was an Assistant Tennis Professional at a private club in PA. I have been a tennis coach for many years in California. I am USPTA certified.

I truly believe that fun and enjoyment can produce better tennis players. For beginners and younger kids, I focus on FUN and repetition of groundstrokes, introducing new strokes as they develop. I also introduce "key words" that they will remember and that will help continue to enhance their game. For average to advanced players, I will evaluate where they are at and see what their short and long term goals are. From there we will develop a game plan for improvement.
