I am USPTA certified teaching professional from Michigan.  I am currently working at South Shore Health and Racquet Club where I mainly work with the junior tennis program and adult doubles leagues.  Prior to South Shore, I taught at Point O' Woods Country Club and Chickaming Country Club where I provided private, semi-private, and group lessons to players of all ages and abilities.  In addition, I also taught at In the Zone Tennis Academy, which focuses largely on developing junior players into  prominant high school and college players. 

I trained and played competatively as a junior player.  In high school, I won both a team and individual flight state championship, which earned me a scholarship to play at Aquinas College.  At Aquinas, I played 1st doubles as well as 2nd and 3rd singles for all four years.  During that time my doubles partner and I broke an NAIA record for most career wins as a doubles team.  Additionally, we achieved a career national ranking of #7 as a doubles team.  Individually, I was also a 4 year All-American honorable mention and an Academic All-American during my senior year.  Following college, I attended law school at Michigan State University and received my professional tennis teaching certification.
