What makes you different?

We are all unique and that is what makes every one of us interesting. I think that having had a dad who was a pro tennis player has given me an insight into what kind of dedication and discipline is needed in order to excel. I am ready for this and am prepared to work incredibly hard to achieve it. I believe my determination and work ethic makes me unique.

Why do you want to compete in college?

I have been at a boarding school since I was 13 and so have not had the exposure to competitive tennis that I would have wanted to. The US and its collegiate system is the most varied and competitive in the world. To be a part of this incredible institution and to be able to compete within it, would be a dream come true.

College Goals?

I really would like to play in the NCAA’s. I would like to work my way up the rankings and show what I am capable of. I would really like to combine this with some kind of entrepreneurial degree which would set me in stead for life.
