Tennis has been an important part of my life since middle school. I began my teaching career at the Storrs Pond tennis camps where I have been an instructor since 2013. I was a varsity player at Hanover High School, played for four years as an undergraduate at Allegheny College in Meadville, PA and periodically as an RVC assistant pro until this fall when I became a full-time RVC tennis professional. I have experience teaching all ages and levels. My favorite player is Nick Kyrgios.
