Since the age of 2 I have had a tennis racquet in my hand. As a junior tennis player I trained in private lessons and group clinics and then steadily climbed the USTA New England rankings winning several sectional and national level tournaments. With a tennis scholarship to Division I Marist College, I played singles and doubles all 4 years, won 1 MAAC conference title, captained the team 2 years and received a business degree with a focus on international relations.
I have been able to combine my love and passion for tennis with my business acumen, using 15 years of club management and 20 years of tennis coaching experience to create world class tennis experiences for every player who steps on the court.
Whether you are a beginner player just learning the fundamentals, a club player striving to improve on their USTA team, a workout junkie looking to get a great sweat on the court or a high performance tournament players aiming to shoot up the rankings, I will help you develop better techniques and tactics, while having a blast and getting a great work out.
Maybe I will see you in the Woodstock Open where I will be defending my 2021 and 2022 title.
