Q. What attributes do you lookfor in a coach/teammate?
Being super supportive, pushing you to work hard and constantly looking out for you.

Probably a swimmer or a gymnast because I used to want to be a professional when I was younger and actually nearly chose both of them over tennis.

I like going to the beach during summer and being around my friends.
Q. Who’s the most famous person you have met?
Roger Federer
Q. What advice would you give to other aspiring tennis players?
Stick at it even when you're going through rough patches and keep working hard because you never know where tennis can take you and what opportunities you may get.
Q. What are your goals going forward?
I want to sign with a strong D1 college in the States for 2026 and work my way towards playing some pro women’s tournaments during the breaks of college and then hopefully long term after that.
