2024 LTA Rising Star award winner
 

I first started playing tennis aged 7 when my primary school put on weekly after school sessions. During secondary school I played occassionally in PE but when I left school I wanted to get back into playing and get active again to help with my recovery and rehabilition after my spinal operation in 2016, so I joined TBLTC in 2019.Aged 17 I took my first steps into coaching as an assistant coach helping Dave with junior groups and camps at Theydon Bois LTC.

I'm now a LTA level 2 Accredited Assistant coach. One of my favourite parts of coaching juniors is seeing their journey from learning the game to competing at any level. I'm also a qualified LTA competition organiser and enjoy running regular tournaments and fun team challenges to get players into playing matches in a fun relaxed enviroment. I'm also captain of the Theydon junior teams which has seen me introduce and guide our juniors through understanding the rules and tactics of competitive play, alongside making sure they have fun and enjoy playing with the wins being an added bonus. I have recently also completed my LTA line umpire course and have also be selected by the LTA as one of their new Youth Girls coach.
