My squash journey
Junior Squash
I started playing squash at 9 years old when my dad introduced me to the sport. A few weeks later, I played my first tournament, beginning my journey in the US Squash junior scene. I won the GU11 National Championship the following year. I loved the sport and the constant competition.
I soon began to 'play up', competing in the older age groups. When I was 13, I won the GU19 National Championship, becoming the youngest ever to win the title. By the end of my junior career, I was named All-American six times and was the #1 GU19 player for six straight years. In my senior year of high school, I received the U.S. Squash DeRoy Sportsmanship Award.
I competed extensively at the international level during my junior career. I first led the U.S. Junior Team at the World Junior Championships as the #1 player at 13 years old and also won junior open championships in 10 different countries. I won the U.S. Junior Open for 6 consecutive years, including 3 as a GU19, and even won the prestigious British Junior Open.
College Squash
I always wanted to play squash in college, so when the time came, I weighed my options and began the recruiting process.
I was accepted into Harvard University's Class of 2024, and am grateful to the Harvard squash coaches for helping me during the process and welcoming me into their program. During my time at Harvard, I played #1 on the Women's Varsity team and was also captain my senior year.
As a team, we won 2 National Championships and 3 Ivy League Conference titles. I earned First-Team All-American and First-Team All-Ivy honors every year I competed for the Crimson. In my senior year, I won the Betty Richey Award, the top honor in women's college squash.
Competing on a college team was an incredible experience and I learned a lot about what coaches are looking for in their players when recruiting to create a strong and positive team.
Professional Squash
My first professional tournament was in 2016. Since then, I have won 9 titles and risen to a highest world ranking of #32. Now that my college career is finished, I aim to break into the top 25 in my first full-time season.
