About Me

With over 20 years of playing experience and a decade of competitive USTA play, I bring a powerful blend of strategy, positivity, and player development to every lesson. I’m a 4.0 competitor (and soon-to-be 4.5 again!) currently working toward my PTR certification and captain multiple teams across USTA women’s leagues, 40+ and 18+ mixed, and advanced doubles. My teams consistently reach playoffs and have made it to Sectionals in Princeton three times.

My coaching style is encouraging, energetic, and growth-oriented. I believe tennis skills translate far beyond the court, and my goal is always to help players not only improve technically, but gain confidence, intention, and resilience. I specialize in helping players become more offensive—learning how to build points with purpose, take control of rallies, and play with strategy instead of reaction.

I coach both singles and doubles players, and I especially love working with competitive adults, juniors, and women who are ready to step into the next level of their game and self-value.

I offer private lessons in Lancaster County and surrounding areas, and while I do travel, I prefer students come to me. Coming soon: clinics and small-group training focused on strategy, mindset, and intentional play.

If you’re looking for a coach who brings high-level competitive experience, strategic teaching, and uplifting energy to every session, I’d love to help you grow your game—and yourself. Let's turn your goals into momentum. Reserve your spot and feel the difference after one session.

Teaching Style

I specialize in building offensive players, teaching intentional point construction, strong net play, strategic doubles patterns, and mindset growth. I help players develop confidence, consistency, and smarter shot selection.

Most lessons will emphasize purposeful play, positive reinforcement, and actionable strategy. My focus is on helping players understand why they're doing something - not just how - so their game becomes instinctive, confident, and strategic.

I structure each lesson with a clear flow:
1. Warm-up and assessment
2. Targeted drills/Technical learning
3. Point play or live ball
4. Confidence takeaway
