She holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology and completed advanced training in Neuroscience and Executive Leadership through MIT, studying how the brain and nervous system drive focus, confidence, and pressure performance. Her work blends neuroscience, sport psychology, clinical psychology, and Eastern principles, informed by time spent training in Thai forest monasteries, studying the mind with masters in Nepal, and working in the Amazon jungle in Peru.

She’s also a tennis mom to a 13-year-old son, which means she understands tournament weekends, car rides home, and the desire parents have to support without adding pressure.
