Hello everyone! A quick review of my playing/coaching career: I am a former Middlesex County Player and top 20 nationally ranked junior, playing against the likes of former top Brit and Fed Cup captain Anne Keothavong. I was on Full scholarship at the College of Charleston, SC for 4 years and played No.1 Singles and No.2 Doubles. MVP at the Conference Championships that CofC won. While attaining my Masters Degree at UCF in Orlando, I was one of the Assistant Coaches for the Div 1 Ladies Team.
Since starting coaching in 2005 I have coached all levels from tiny tots to professional juniors including WTA Pro Shelby Rogers of Charleston and current British star Jodie Burrage.
Qualifications: LTA DCA Level 3, PTR, USPTA, RPT
These tennis specific qualifications from the UK, Spain and the USA have given me a well rounded knowledge of coaching and a multitude of ways to teach them as everyone learns slightly differently.
As of 2023, I am also the Head of Tennis at St Swithun's School, Winchester. I also represent Hampshire in the Ladies Over 35s and 40s County Cup in my limited free time!
Current CRB and First Aid. These are always up to date as part of my License courses with the LTA.
I have a National Academy of Sports Medicine qualification in the Enhancement of Sports Performance. This education in conjunction with my Masters in Exercise Science, means I can help with old and new injuries, tennis specific conditioning and overall fitness.
"I look forward to sharing my passion for tennis with you!"
