University of Texas at Dallas (tennis court)

Bio: I am a current collegiate pickleball player for the University of Texas at Dallas. I have a 4.0+ DUPR rating and have competitive tournament experience. I excel in teaching the 3.0-3.5 range in getting to the next level. With no prior racquet sport experience, I have a unique perspective on the sport. I also am well aware of tennis players transitioning over and can teach the nuances of pickleball in a way tennis players can understand.

Bio: I first picked up a tennis racket when I was just three years old, and from that moment, I was hooked. Tennis became a huge part of my life—I played competitively all the way through high school, and the sport taught me discipline, strategy, and the joy of healthy competition. Sports have always been a passion of mine, whether I’m watching, playing, or coaching. These days, I’m also really into pickleball and love the fast-paced, fun energy it brings. It’s a great complement to tennis and keeps me active and connected to the game in a new way. As a coach, I enjoy helping others build confidence on the court—whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your game to the next level. I believe in fundamentals, having fun, and playing with heart.
