2022 Highlights

Personal Statement

Going into the next chapter in my life, I would like to continue playing tennis at the collegiate level, while also studying to be a speech pathologist/ therapist. During the time I spent in the Philippines, my grandma wanted me to be more active, so she introduced me to tennis when I was 8. I moved back to the United States at the start of middle school. Living in a small town with very few tennis coaches and tennis opportunities, I have to travel for a total of 3 hours each week for coaching. Not only do I work hard and try to do my best on court, but I also push myself to be the best version of myself academically. I am always eager to learn, dedicated, hardworking and passionate about the things I love to do.

Camp consisted of training in the morning and tournaments in the afternoon. The head coach for this D1 university was so welcoming and so friendly and her tennis team all had a personalized approach and gave you realistic coaching and what you can do to play better. It was a well managed camp that offered quality tennis over the number of students.
