Hi there! I’m passionate about helping pickleball players of all ages and skill levels unlock their potential. Whether you're picking up a paddle for the first time or refining advanced techniques, I’ll guide you with a focus on the fundamentals—sharp hand-eye coordination, quick footwork, and powerful, consistent strokes.

Sports have been a driving force in my life. My competitive background includes college soccer, Muay Thai, ice hockey, fencing, and figure skating. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to learn from incredible coaches, including Ralph Burghart, a seven-time Austrian national champion, who taught me the discipline and grit needed to master any skill.

What sets my coaching apart is my unwavering belief in your potential. No matter your starting point, I’ll help you build confidence and see that progress is always possible with focused practice. My approach is supportive, structured, and tailored to your unique needs—so every session leaves you feeling capable and excited for the next challenge. If you bring the determination, I’ll help you reach your goals!

With a university degree in education and six years of experience teaching in Alaska’s public schools, I specialise in breaking down complex skills into manageable steps. My strength is scaffolding your growth, ensuring each lesson moves you forward with clarity and purpose.

Let’s hit the court together! With the right guidance and a little perseverance, there’s no limit to what you can achieve. Ready to take your game to the next level? Let’s get started!
