BIO

Hi, I have access to great facilities being Mills College or Head-Royce and prefer to teach there. In fact, I'm a JV coach at Head-Royce and a USTA high performance coach. I've enjoyed transitioning from a competitive rec player with a history in scholastic tennis to a coach and mentor for others. I am a USPTA Elite Professional and follow their guidance on how to make good lessons but I also mix that with "the Spanish Method" way of teaching juniors through positioning and repetition. I'm an encyclopedia of tennis and can boil the game down to basics for you.
