I’ve been playing tennis since I was 15 and have remained passionate about the game for over 40 years. I played varsity high school tennis for a top CIF team and started working in tennis clubs at 18 — first at the front desk and maintaining courts, and eventually moving into full-time teaching by my mid-20s. I’ve competed in A and Open-level tournaments and played beach paddle tennis daily for years. I’ve run adult and junior clinics at public courts, city recreation centers, and private clubs throughout Orange County, including Mission Viejo and Laguna Woods. While I later completed my degree at Cal State Fullerton and built a career outside of tennis, I’ve never stopped playing — currently twice a day — and I’m ready to return to coaching. Whether you’re just picking up a racquet or you’re an experienced player looking for feedback and improvement, I’d love to help you grow in the sport of a lifetime.

My musical odyssey began almost 8 years ago when I first picked up a guitar, but it was the experience of teaching a close friend the guitar basics that ignited my true passion for instruction. Currently enrolled as a music student, I contribute to my college's chamber chorus as a singer and commercial music ensemble as a guitarist. While my heart beats to the rhythm of blues, my repertoire extends to rock, pop, and RnB. Eager to expand my musical horizons, I'm in the process of attaining a commercial music certification to work as a session musician. Over the years, I've gathered skills and insights from various genres, completing beginner and intermediate guitar courses and studying one-on-one with experienced players. Proficient in both acoustic and electric guitar, I'm enthusiastic about sharing my love for music, teaching all styles to learners of every skill level. Join me on this harmonious journey!
