I'm a 5.0 pickleball player and coach with tournament success at the 4.5 level and currently compete in 5.0 and pro events. With 2 years of playing experience and 200+ students coached, I work with players of all ages and skill levels — from brand-new beginners to advanced 4.0s. My coaching style emphasizes patience, strategy, and clean technique, while building genuine connections and sharing my passion for the game we all enjoy. Unlike many high-level players, I don’t come from a traditional athletic background, I’ve only ever skateboarded. Because of this, I truly understand the challenges that come with picking up a paddle for the first time. I admire everyone who steps outside their comfort zone to try something new. My goal is to inspire and show that with a little practice, anyone can enjoy and succeed at pickleball. I strive to create a learning environment where growth feels fun, focused, and builds confidence. Whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time, or looking to develop your game, I’m always happy to help!

As a 4.0-level player and Level 2 NCCP-certified coach, I bring a mix of structure and playfulness to every session. Coming from a casual tennis background, I understand both the habits that help and the ones that need to change when transitioning into pickleball. With 2 years of experience on and off the court, I focus on helping players
As a 4.0-level player and Level 2 NCCP-certified coach, I bring a mix of structure and playfulness to every session. Coming from a casual tennis background, I understand both the habits that help and the ones that need to change when transitioning into pickleball. With 2 years of experience on and off the court, I focus on helping players up to the 3.5 level improve their technique, positioning, and confidence.
My coaching style keeps things fun, approachable, and game-focused — because learning is most effective when players are smiling, moving, and fully engaged. I love helping new and developing players find their rhythm, grow their skills, and most importantly, enjoy every moment on court.
