As a junior I won the South African Nike Masters in U14's and then represented South Africa at the International Nike masters event. I won the South African Junior Nationals in u16's and ended off a successful junior career in the top 5 national singles ranking in U18's. I also represented South African Schools for numerous years. I then competed for the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the NCAA Division 1 college system. We were ranked inside the top 70 consistently. I completed my college career at Queen's College in Queens NY with a singles record of 23-2. After graduating I enjoyed coaching at a High-Performance Academy in Philadelphia for 2 years and also in New Jersey for 3 years.
