About Me

A 5.5 tennis player, USPTA teacher and NCAA coach I found pickleball in 2014 and was instantly hooked. I entered my first national pickleball tournaments in 2015 and earned Gold and Silver at the September 2015 Tournament of Champions.

In November of that year, I medaled four times at the USAPA National Tournament including winning Gold in the Women’s Doubles Open with Gigi LeMaster. At the first US OPEN Pickleball Championship in Naples, Florida in April 2016 I earned five medals including Golds in the Pro Division Women’s Doubles with Christine McGraft and Mixed Doubles with Daniel Moore.

I now am the Pickleball Touring Professional and Director of Pickleball Instruction at Palmetto Dunes in Hilton Head, SC.  I am also the Education Consultant and Lead Clinician for the Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR). PPR is the Official Education and Certification Partner of the USAPA and is dedicated to educating, certifying and serving pickleball teaching professionals and coaches around the world.

Where Does Power Come From in Pickleball?

March 28, 2025

Hint: It’s Not Your Arms. Let’s clear this up right away—power doesn’t come from your hands or arms. Swinging harder doesn’t automatically mean you’re hitting faster, stronger, or better.
