Tiff rediscovered their love for tennis as an adult and has since become deeply passionate about creating inclusive opportunities for others to learn and enjoy the sport. As the Youth Racquet Coordinator at Portland Tennis & Education, Tiff takes on the responsibility of curating a comprehensive monthly program tailored specifically for the kids in grades K-8. She works closely with the students to hone their skills and help them develop into more proficient tennis and pickleball players.
Through her guidance, the children focus on key areas such as strategy, mechanics, and endurance, all while preparing them for the challenges of competitive play. Tiff’s ultimate goal is to ensure these young athletes are not only improving their game but are also becoming tournament-ready, gaining the confidence and experience needed to excel in the sport. In addition to her role at Portland Tennis & Education, Tiff also serves as the Head Tennis Coach at Grant High School, where she brings her expertise and passion for the game to mentor and lead high school athletes. Certified through PTA, Tiff finds great joy in helping players at every level develop a personal connection to the sport and achieve success. They take immense joy and grounding in racquet sports, believing they offer invaluable life lessons. Driven by a commitment to break down traditional norms, Tiff strives to ensure that everyone who wishes to engage with racquet sports has access to a welcoming and supportive community.
