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!

Autumn
I’ve been passionate about tennis for over 20 years, thanks to my father who introduced me to the game at a young age. I earned my coaching certification from The Professional Tennis Registry in 2021 and have since coached for Nike Tennis Camps, Smoke Rise Country Club, and offered private lessons. As a former Division II college player, I also volunteered at an afterschool program, where I had the chance to teach kids tennis alongside a local coach. This experience, along with four years of coaching at Reading & Requests, taught me the value of listening to students and using positive reinforcement to foster rapid improvement. In my lessons, I focus on mastering the six basic strokes, keeping score, proper hand placement, and understanding the rules of the game. My classes are designed to be dynamic, fun, and structured for maximum skill development.
