Cathrine Harless

I am 28 years old of Swedish nationality. I started playing tennis as a 7-year-old and quickly realized it was the passion of my life. At 14 I began assistant teaching in a summer camp in Sweden mostly to finance my own lessons and tournament play. I had aspirations to play college tennis in the US so I applied and got accepted at Charleston Southern Univ. in Charleston SC. It is a NCAA div 1 school. I had 3 good years then got injured and red shirted my fourth year. I went on to get my masters and played a fifth year before i graduated with an MBA (2002). I met my husband in Charleston. He is in the US Air Force. Due to his job we've had to move around a lot and we are currently stationed in Tirana Albania. I have taught tennis here for a year and a half now and also worked as a personal trainer (although I'm not certified, only in tennis do I hold certification). Personal training is another passion of mine. I love to work out and stay in shape and it's great to help others do the same.
