My journey in tennis began at the age of six, when I picked up my first racquet and fell in love with the sport. Over the years, my dedication and passion for tennis have grown, driving me to excel as both a player and a coach. During my junior years, I competed in numerous tournaments, achieving top rankings and securing several regional and national titles. As a member of my high school tennis team, I played as the number one singles player, leading us to multiple state championships. In college, I continued my tennis career at the Division I level, consistently performing at the top of my game. I received all-conference selections and contributed to our team's titles, further solidifying my passion for the sport both on and off the court.
