Play Golf at Greenies Golf Club

In keeping with the philosophy of Bobby Jones, the first person to capture all of golf’s major championships as an amateur, I believe that dedication and proper technique are essential for success in any endeavor. When you start playing competitivley you find that simply participating is not enough; one must strive to master the fundamentals and execute them correctly to fully appreciate and excel at the game of golf & life. Over the years I have dedicated tens of thousands of hours to the practice and implementation of the mechanics in the golf swing. This has granted me unique insights into the mental and technical aspects of playing well. I encourage a mindset of commitment and continuous improvement for myself and my students alike, regardless of one’s skill level.

"My kids went 0 to 100 and had a total blast while doing so. Highly recommend!

I’ve been playing golf since I was 10 years old and competed in nationally ranked junior tournaments throughout my youth. I played high school golf and was recruited by the University of Oregon, where I earned a full ride scholarship to play on the women’s golf team. After college, I pursued a professional career on tour for a couple of years before transitioning to become a golf instructor. Now, I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others improve their game!

With a lifelong commitment to the game of golf, I have established a distinguished record across all levels of competition, beginning with a junior golf career highlighted by dozens of tournament victories and notable performances in premier events such as the US Junior Amateur, Junior World Championships, and the California Cup Team. During high school, I was a vital member of a CIF championship-winning team, demonstrating my dedication to excellence. Advancing to collegiate golf at Washington State University, I achieved two individual tournament wins and contributed to eight team victories, with my tenure marked by representing the university at the NCAA Championship and securing a national ranking of 15th, reflecting both my skill and perseverance. As an amateur golfer, I have competed in numerous major amateur golf championships, always seeking to challenge myself and refine my abilities. Currently, I have reentered the golf industry as a PGA Associate Qualifier and am working toward completion of my TPI Level 1 certification. Golf is more than a sport to me—it is a lifelong pursuit, and I am dedicated to supporting golfers of all ages and skill levels in reaching their goals, enjoying the sport, and maximizing their potential.
