Biography

I am a native of Memphis, Tennessee, where my independent school education provided me with the confidence to discover my voice, the courage to take risks, and the opportunity to pursue excellence through academic achievement, relationships, leadership, and character.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Exercise and Sport Studies from Smith College, where I served as a Teaching Fellow. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology and Nutrition Sciences from Whittier College, where I was a four-year member of the tennis team, earned the title of ITA Scholar-Athlete, was a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and was appointed by Whittier’s President to serve on the college’s Title IX Committee. I’m an active member of WeCoach, Molly Grisham’s Mastermind courses, United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA), and the USC Rossier School of Education Certificate program.

My administrative and coaching background started at St. George’s Independent School where I formed lifelong relationships with student-athletes, families, and administrators; designed entertaining and educational programming; and assisted with student-athlete academic support.

At the collegiate level, I have been a part of some of our country’s most prestigious institutions, leading my players to NCAA/ITA regional and national rankings and supporting student-athletes on their journeys to being named All-Americans, ITA Scholar Student-Athletes, and Conference Character Award winners, recruiting top 20 nationally ranked classes. I have been involved in all aspects of the athletics programs through player-coach relationships, supporting overall well-being, designing competitive game schedules, serving on institutional leadership committees, facility maintenance, fundraising initiatives, event planning, and collaborating with college counselors.

I currently live in Menlo Park. I am a foodie, enjoy traveling, riding my Peloton, reading a good summer book, and playing tennis.
