About Me
I have been playing tennis for 11, going on 12 years now. Throughout my tennis career, I have played competitive tennis and pursued my goals through tournaments. I have continued my tennis through college, and have worked on refining doubles. I started teaching tennis three years ago in camps for younger children ages 3-6. I have constructed point play sessions with players between the ages of 7 and 12. I have also built lesson plans and hitting sessions for athletes 14-18. In college, I taught beginners and recreational players to improve their skills. I also have created fitness and rehab plans for various injuries (certification in the works), and have introduced fitness to complete beginners. I hope to continue my passion through tennis by teaching it to anyone who is curious and excited to improve!
Teaching Style
My teaching specialty includes using my extensive experience to make tennis fun and help you reach your goals. Want to learn the basics? Want to build strength and speed? Want to build mental toughness? That is no problem; we can do that and more at all levels!
For beginners to intermediate, we will work on building the fundamentals to help you grow confidence. For competitive players, we will work on building strategy, mental toughness, point play, and refining technique to help you perform in competitive environments with great success. For children, we will make tennis a fun outlet to let loose and learn the basics of a new skill. For adults returning to the game, we will work on reconnecting to the game and building confidence. I also enjoy teaching doubles at all levels, as I draw from my experience to help players improve teamwork, strategy, and communication while fostering fun and connection on the court!
Wherever you are and whatever you are aiming for, we will team up to make progress and make it fun every step of the way!

Rihanna is an absolutely amazing coach. Every lesson with her has been incredibly fulfilling. She is extremely patient in her guidance, and the intensity of the training is always just right for me. Her encouragement and technical explanations have been incredibly helpful. I truly enjoy every moment of the lessons I have with her.
I had my 9 year old daughter and 13 year old son work with Rianna over the summer. My daughter was preparing for tournaments, while my son was playing more casually. Rianna tailored their sessions to meet their individual goals. She focused on preparing my daughter for tournaments with drills, tactics, and staying focused on the court, and for my son, fun drills and games. She even helped him learn to serve, something he had struggled with and introduced fitness to improve their speed and stamina. I highly recommend Rianna. She is attentive, genuinely cares about those she works with, and brings a unique passion for the sport that inspires young players at any level.
