Tennis has played a large role in my life from a very young age. I fell in love with the sport at just four years old and began competing when I was Eight. I was a part of my high school's varsity tennis team for four years and was named captain my junior and senior year. I now play for the Women's tennis team here at Dominican University of California. My love for the sport played a large role in my decision to attend DUC, as the program is amazing, as well as the sense of community it provides. Being a student athlete has taught me valuable lessons such as the ability to compartmentalize, responsibility, and perseverance.
