Candidate:

Ms. Master Of Tennis Administration

About Me:

As a female-founder of a sports company I’m passionate about gender equity/access within the industry, as one who comes from a low-income background with little opportunity in sports, and have used my business as a catalyst for change. My clients include celebrities and politicians but I balance that with sliding scale service for young prodigies.

Big Life Wins:

After starting law school on a full scholarship during COVID-19, and as former competitive tennis player with years of teaching under my belt, I began teaching independently. I spent my hours in-between Zoom lectures being flown across the country to tennis courts in every city and now have employees, community programs and corporate structure.

Post MBA Goal:

Scale my business beyond current success (1M profit < 3 years). Given my humanities background (JD) I hope to build a more quantitative toolkit to better analyze my business's data, growth and opportunity. I'm confident an MBA program will provide me with a network and connections, and I would consider a pivot to leadership roles in sports industry.
