It all started with the simple question, “Do you want to go to America?”
At 16 years of age, I learned about the US college system and knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime to continue my education and be able to play tennis every day. The answer was a definitive “YES”… with absolutely no hesitation!
Who would have thought that a fleeting meeting at a water fountain that day would lead to a 30-year life experience that shaped me in tons of positive ways and provided so many options and opportunities? I am immensely blessed to have landed in a US location alongside a group of supportive and exceptional individuals – coaches, teammates, support staff, friends and families – all of whom contributed to my success and shaped me into the driven person I am today.
Since recently returning to Australia, I am excited and honored to now guide and serve the future generations of college athletes on their own personal journeys.
