Bio: I fell in love with pickleball in 2023, and it quickly became my healthy obsession. The game helped me shed over 100 pounds, sharpen my skills through lessons, and inspired me to pursue PCI Certification. Now, I share that passion by teaching beginners and intermediates of all ages—helping them learn the rules, build confidence, and discover just how addictive and fun pickleball can be.
