Helping players unlock their potential on the court is what I do best! As a current Division I athlete with 15 years of tennis experience, I work with players of all skill levels to help them reach their goals—whether that’s learning to make consistent contact, extending rally length, or training with high-level, D1 intensity. Whatever your focus, I’ve got you covered. Let’s team up and take your game to the next level! My main teaching location is the UIC tennis courts and I will be teaching at courts around that area; however, I cannot go more than 15 minutes away from UIC. Also my availability is a little more limited as I am a student-athlete. But I am willing to try to fit as many students as I can into my schedule.
