I grew up in New Orleans playing Juniors USTA Tennis and enduring summer heat and tournaments all over the South, while it sounds daunting, I developed a love for the hardcourt. I was intrigued when I heard about pickleball. After a couple lessons with good friends, I decided I was going to incorporate this newfound sport into my life and the rest is history!

From one lesson to a passion for the sport - we are even having our kids start to play! It is a dream come to true to combine creativity and style into the sport which is why I am so excited about the bags we’ve created. 

Why I love being a part of the Volée Team:
Fashion and sports have consistently been interests of mine. To be able to use my creative style, play a competitive game I greatly enjoy and work beside amazing women and friends to create something unique for people that share similar passions is a win!

My silver lining during Covid was that I became a certified fitness trainer and fell in love with pickleball. I tend to gravitate towards anything that involves fitness, friends and fun, so playing America’s fastest growing sport while starting a pickleball bag company with my best girlfriends was a no-brainer.

Why I love being a part of the Volée team:
Building a creative, stylish and local brand with two close friends who I respect and laugh with on a constant basis isn’t work.. we’re always having fun!

I was born and raised in sunny California. I’ve been blessed to
try and love many sports and activities in my life, especially court sports. I’m a people person and love getting to know others from all walks of life. Court sports allowed me to create multigenerational bonds almost instantaneously. These bonds have turned into lifelong friendships both on and off the court.   

Why I love being a part of the Volée Team:
I feel beyond lucky to be able to create a brand with my amazing like-minded friends. There is a lot of hard work but equal amounts of laughter and fun. Working together and creating our brand makes me feel blessed and grateful every day!
