How long have you been playing tennis, and what got you started?
I played on and off in High School, never was on the tennis team. I instead played Field Hockey and Softball, and in college played Division 1 Field Hockey on a scholarship.
I picked a racquet back up when one of my closest and dearest friends in Atlanta, GA decided that she wanted to take lessons, but did not want to take them by herself. So she convinced me to sign up with her. Eventually, she left to go to Grad School and I continued playing a few times a week with a seasonal and then joined ALTA. I continued playing tennis in Texas, Virginia and Ohio. We moved to Kentucky in 2009, I did not start playing at LTC until 2011/12. So, I have been playing tennis on and off for about 20-25 years.
What is your favorite league to play in and why?
I am not a singles player at all, I will definitely tell you that with no problem. I enjoy playing all of it, I just enjoy being on the court and playing.
What do you enjoy/look forward to about volunteering for TACK?
Well, I am the Volunteer Coordinator, and I am always looking for volunteers. But here in Lexington, we have a reputation to uphold as always holding successful tennis events. I enjoy working with everyone to create an environment that makes our events the best.
If you could be any piece of household furniture, what would you be and why?
I would be that big oversized comfy chair in a corner with the perfect reading lamp near her, so that someone can curl up for an afternoon and read a great book.
