I’ve been playing tennis for 15 years, growing up in Atlanta, GA, where my passion for the game took root. I’m currently competing in professional ITF tournaments to make it onto the WTA tour. As a junior, I achieved a 10 UTR and competed in numerous Southern and National tournaments, often playing in older age groups. In high school, I led my team to its first-ever state championship, going undefeated at the line 1 position. I finished my high school career as a 4-star recruit and attended the University of Georgia, where I focused on academics with plans to attend medical school while continuing to hone my tennis skills. Now, training with former pros, I’m eager to share what I’ve learned with others, helping them elevate their game and enjoy the journey!

"I'm quite satisfied with the lesson with Valdrez, especially the focus on consistent work on my serve and forehand. Though I’d say I still need to keep at it, the progress felt steady. Still, more of the same kind of practice should help me get closer to where I want to be. Definitely a calm, constructive approach that I’d recommend trying if you're looking to refine specific strokes.
