Tennis has changed my life in more ways than I can count. This inception of this project is rooted in my passion that everyone should have the same opportunity to learn and grow from all that tennis has to offer.

I would like to show kids that anything is possible with hard work and dedication. Tennis has given me so much: I have traveled the world. I have competed in Grand Slams, including the 2019, 2021 and 2022 Women's US Open. I have met my closest friends and built countless lifelong relationships. Currently, I continue to play professionally alongside Division I college tennis at the University of North Carolina (most recently winning the 2023 NCAA Team Championships and the 2023 ITA Fall National Singles and Doubles titles). 

I am incredibly grateful for the platform sport has provided me and am passionate about using it to give back to the city of Whitewater.
