About

I started playing pickleball with my mom in 2020 and never looked back. Now a 4.0 tournament champion, I’ve seen firsthand how this sport builds both skills and community. Beyond the competitive edge, pickleball has brought me lasting friendships and a level of fulfillment that’s hard to find anywhere else. As your instructor, I’m here to help you master the court and experience the same joy, connection, and success that this game has given me.
