"I’ve been a Level 3 coach for the last 2 years. Successfully coached a variety of different age groups, skill levels and abilities at Edinburgh Leisure, Barnton Park and Glenrothes.

I have a sports background with a degree in sports and exercise science, which had a close focus on tennis as part of my dissertation.

I’ve been playing and competing in tennis since I was a junior and I continue to compete in the tennis Tayside leagues for Kinross ladies.

I enjoy coaching both groups and individuals. I’m excited to be joining Brucehaven Tennis Club."
