I started playing tennis at 9 years old. Growing up, I played in tournaments around the world and competed at a high level internationally. At 18, I received a full scholarship to play tennis at Winthrop University and transferred to the University of Louisville two years later. During my four years of college, I played mainly #1 in doubles and ranged from #1 to #3 in singles. I had the opportunity to compete against the best in the country and loved the college tennis experience.
