EDUCATION: Emory University Goizueta Business School Currently pursuing MBA Hampton University (2010) Summa Cum Laude graduate with BA in Finance SUCCESS STORY: Tennis is tied with golf as the most difficult sport. One must possess physical fitness, agility and mental toughness. As a student of Lonnie Wooden, he instilled tactics and motivation on the court that continue into everyday life. I am still an avid tennis player and must resort back to the strategies and lessons that were learned from Coach Lonnie. I am also extremely confident in my staple setup shot which is my serve. Speed, spin, and ball placement were all learned and attributable to my talents. I began working with Coach Lonnie during my teenage years, and he attended many matches as I matriculated through high school. Coach Lonnie was also a good resource for college recruiting. I am extremely grateful to have had a coach that I could connect with both on and off of the court!
