I just love sharing the joy of pickleball!  I am a mother of 3, manage my husband's chiropractic office a 2-3 days per week, playing and teaching pickleball on the other days.  My husband and I began playing pickleball about 6 years ago while travelling with our kids.  He was an avid tennis player - me, not so much.  When we started playing pickleball, we found it was something we could both enjoy together as well as with the kids.  I soon joined the board of our local pickleball club (Central Virginia Pickleball), managing their website, organizing round robins and ladder leagues.  I found that I loved introducing new people to pickleball and get a charge seeing their excitement and enjoyment of the game.  It was a natural progression to look to get certified to teach which I finally did late spring of 2022.  I now give lessons a few days a week.  I will be holding beginner clinics at a local club starting in March and have been approached by a local parks and rec program to provide pickleball programming as well
