I enjoy playing tennis and have been playing competitively since I was eleven years old. My dad played at a collegiate level and has been coaching me. I was the starting pitcher on a competitive softball team that was ranked as one of the top teams in Utah for 2016, but have transitioned into a single sport athlete so I can focus on reaching my full potential. My TRN ranking has consistently climbed by around 150 spots every year and is currently at 175. By my senior year I should definitely be in the top 100 nationally. The reason I am climbing every year is because I love to train and work hard. I am really striving to be the best player I can be and hopefully take my tennis to the highest level possible.
I love to travel, and I have traveled to Japan many times. I have also traveled to South Carolina to practice at a tennis school on Hilton Head Island.
I enjoy studying and take my education very seriously. I am very self motivated and strive to get ahead by working harder than other people. Here are a couple of links to articles written about me regarding my tennis:
