Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
ambitious, focused, mentally-strong, hard-working, passionate
Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best memory was playing the Potchefstroom ITF, which was my last ITF I played in. I had so much fun in both singles and doubles and played the best ITF matches of my life while simultaneously being exhausted from traveling three hours to get to the courts every day.
Goals:
My goal right now is to get into college tennis and continue playing competitively and improving my game through tough matches. I hope in the future to also be a part time coach and share my knowledge with other players.
Anything else we should know?
I also care a lot about my academics and have been very successful at balancing education and my tennis!
