Tennis has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started playing when I was just 4 years old, learning the basics from my father, and quickly fell in love with the game. By the time I was 16, I had moved to one of the top training centers in Brazil, where I dedicated myself full-time to the sport and went on to win multiple national and junior tournaments across South America.

That foundation eventually led me to the professional tour, where I earned ATP rankings of #1616 in singles and #1361 in doubles. I also competed at the collegiate level in the U.S., becoming the national runner-up in 2019 with ASA Miami and winning the ITA NJCAA National Championship in doubles — earning recognition as the best doubles player in the country at that level.

Beyond competing, I’ve also coached as an assistant at the college level, which helped shape my approach to teaching players of all backgrounds. I've coached kids, teens, adults, and advanced tournament players — always tailoring lessons to fit each student’s needs, goals, and style.

With a peak UTR of 13.54 and years of international experience, I know how to help students improve technically, tactically, and mentally — while keeping it fun and rewarding. Whether you're just starting or aiming to compete, I’m here to help you grow every step of the way.
