I love what I do
I’ve loved competition for as long as I can remember. Whether I was playing in junior tournaments or traveling across the world to represent Team USA, I’ve always found purpose and joy in pushing myself to compete at the highest level. Born with bilateral proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD), I was introduced to tennis early on and competed against able-bodied players until I transitioned to wheelchair tennis at age twelve.
That shift opened up an entirely new world—one filled with international travel, unforgettable matches, and a growing community of incredible athletes and friends. Representing my country on the global stage is one of the greatest honors of my life. Every time I roll onto the court, I’m fueled by the chance to wear “USA” on my back and give everything I have for my team.
Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to visit new places, experience different cultures, and connect with people from all walks of life. The friendships I’ve formed and the lessons I’ve learned have been just as valuable as the trophies and rankings.
Wheelchair tennis has not only given me a platform to grow as an athlete—it’s given me a voice, a community, and a lifelong passion. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, excited for what’s ahead, and committed to giving this sport—and the people in it—everything I’ve got.
