Summary
I started playing squash at the age of 5 and since then my passion for the sport has consistently fueled my desire to improve as a player and share my love for the game. My coaches and I realized my talent at a young age and I quickly began to play around the US and international competitions. I won four national titles throughout my junior career and was consistently ranked in the top 3 nationally. I was also fortunate enough to compete for Team USA in two world junior championships.
Having reached my highest world ranking of world number 88, I am dedicated to the game and am looking not only to keep improving as a player but also as a coach. I have had the benefit of being trained by incredible coaches, who taught me new methods and techniques that allowed me to take my game and coaching skills to the next level. As a professional Squash player I have recently reached top 8 in US Women's nationals and have reached the finals of three pro tour events in the last few months.
I am looking to take my skills that I have built on court and help rising stars develop their talent and reach their full potential in the game, regardless of age and level. I have been playing squash in the Pro Sports Club of Bellevue since I started to hold a racket, and have built a community that I truly love and wish to only grow and give back to.
