My journey with pickleball began at my home courts, Melba Bishop, where I traded my background in competitive softball for a paddle and never looked back. Since there were very few formal coaching resources in the early days, I taught myself through observation and grit, eventually climbing the ranks to become a 5.0 player. It was a tough road, but it gave me a deep appreciation for the hard work that goes into mastering this game. I'm a Team Selkirk sponsored athlete and a certified IPTPA & PCI instructor. I also have the pleasure of serving as the President of the North County Pickleball Women's League. Having been on the journey from a beginner to a 5.0 player, I know exactly what it takes to improve. My goal is to help you level up your game by focusing on the fundamentals, smart shot selection, and effective strategy-all while having a great time on the court. I love giving back to the sport that's given me so much, and I'd love to help you reach your next goal on the Melba Bishop courts. Contact: pklr47@gmail.com
