Still, I think a bit more focus on position awareness could make the next lesson even better, but overall, I’d say it was quite helpful.

From an early age, I tuned into the enchanting sound of the guitar in music, setting the stage for a lifelong love affair with strings. In the 5th grade, I delved into the world of classical guitar, laying the groundwork for my musical journey. High school offered a two-year guitar course, complemented by private lessons that further shaped my skills. My musical inspiration came alive through rock legends like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and RHCP, influencing my playing style profoundly. Venturing into fingerstyle guitar on acoustic, I expanded my repertoire to include pop songs. Currently, I thrive as a band member and delve into solo projects, all while finding joy in teaching and collaborative musical experiences. Join me on this musical journey, where the love for guitar transcends genres, and the pleasure of playing is shared with others!

I’ve been playing pickleball for four years and coaching for three, with consistent experience competing in tournaments. I’m on the court nearly every day and stay closely connected to the local pickleball community, especially in the Arlington area. Sports have always been a core part of my life—including basketball, soccer, and table tennis—but pickleball stands out as the most engaging, strategic, and social game I’ve played. As a coach, I combine drilling with live play, working alongside my students to develop solid shot mechanics, sharpen strategy, and improve decision-making under pressure. Beyond lessons, I help players plug into the local pickleball scene so they can continue progressing through games, leagues, and community connections. If you’re ready to elevate your game, I’d be glad to work with you.

I’m a center back currently competing at the NCAA Division I level, with experience playing for Utah Valley University (UVU), University of Central Arkansas (UCA), and Gardner-Webb University. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the game, especially from a defensive perspective, and I take pride in my leadership, positioning, and ability to read the field. As a player, I’ve always been vocal and disciplined — someone my teammates can count on. Now as a coach and mentor, I aim to bring that same energy to developing young players. I focus on teaching the fundamentals of defending, building confidence on the ball, and helping athletes grow both technically and mentally. Whether I’m training center backs to lead the backline or helping players understand the game at a higher level, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned and giving back to the sport that’s given me so much.
