Karen retired after 25 years in corporate life as a Sales and Management Training Consultant. Soon after, she was encouraged by her daughter’s tennis coach to get certified in tennis. She played tennis most of her life and later pursued coaching. That began her career as a high school tennis coach with a PTR (Professional Tennis Registry) certification. Karen’s love for tennis and racquet sports easily transferred to the pickleball court. She then became PPR (Professional Pickleball Registry) certified in 2019 by Colin Johns, one of the top pickleball doubles players in the world. Now, as the Head Pickleball Professional at PCC, Karen loves every aspect of the game. She continually trains each year with high level pickleball professionals to learn the most recent nuances of the game. She has trained with Sarah Ansboury, Jorga Johnson, James Ignanowich, Kristen Clemmer and Andre Daescu, and most recently trained for a week with Daescu's coach Alex Pop-Moldovan. Recently, Karen was certified as a DUPR Coach and ratings professional.
Karen’s teaching focus is on loving the game. She has trained over 1000 people and will assess your needs taking you where you want to go. Whether it's just to play the game for fun with friends, refine your skills and strategies, or begin competing at a higher level. Skills, knowledge, strategy, positioning on the court, footwork, and the mental game are essentials to perfecting the fastest growing sport.
