About Me

Originally from Venezuela (Fluent also in Spanish). I was #1 in my country throughout my junior career and a top 100 player in the ITF circuit. I played all the major tournaments and served as a hitting partner to top players including Ons Jabeur, Monica Puig, and Elise Mertens. During my junior career I trained with Patrick Mouratoglou, where I transitioned to play in the WTA for a few years ranking top 300 in the world in doubles. At 18, I decided to take a scholarship to play D1 tennis in the US, where I competed for Auburn University and the University of Houston. Both teams competed at the highest levels where we consistently ranked among the top 20 teams in the US.
As of coaching, I have extensive experience across all levels with over 10 years of experience. I have coached top junior players as well as lower level or beginner adults/kids that are just learning the technical aspect of the game.

Teaching Style

I am very technical coach and always vocal. Lots of teaching experience across levels so the structure of a lesson depends on the skill of the player. Lessons can vary from all technical (basket work), to mixed technical and play, to simply hitting and developing tactical or court movement skills.
