I played four years of college tennis at St. Mary's University, was all conference in doubles my junior year and was the captain my senior year.

I will be a junior at Shakopee High School this coming fall.  I have been involved in the Shakopee Summer Tennis Program since I was eight years old!

I have played on the Shakopee Varsity tennis team for three years. 

My ninth grade year I was awarded All-Conference at number one doubles.  This past tennis season I received All-Conference Honorable Mention and was voted MVP and Most Dedicated by my teammates. 

I was also chosen to be a team captain for the upcoming tennis season.

I am looking forward to a fun summer filled with tennis!
