How long have you been involved in Tennis?

I have been involved in tennis since the age of 6, where my passion for the game quickly grew into a career. I began coaching at 18 and have been dedicated to helping players of all ages develop their skills and love for the sport ever since.

How did you become involved in tennis coaching?

After spending most of my childhood & teenage years playing, I was invited to be an assistant coach at an Evonne Goolagong-Cawley Tennis Camp in Toowoomba. After that weekend, I was hooked and started my coaching career at Toowoomba Grammar, Fairholme College & The Glennie School in Toowoomba.

Favourite Tennis Player

There are too many to choose from! Andre Agassi has always been a favourite but it is hard to go past Roger Federer.

Favourite Grand Slam

Wimbledon, for its heritage, prestige, traditions and playing surface.

Favourite Racquet

I have used Head Radicals since i was 12 years old. It is still the favourite. The Head Boom would be a close second.
