Head of Tennis for the largest club in the Virgin Active Brand. Managing a team of tennis professionals from all different backgrounds and of a variety of skill sets, delivering to over 1500 participants per week. My role involved people management, product design and training, event management, recruitment and overseeing operations of the racquets department.

Alongside a large team of other racquets professionals, my role is to grow and improve the standard of our the Active Aces program. I work both on court with players and off court with our team to deliver sessions in the biggest junior tennis program in the Virgin Active UK estate. I also deliver cardio tennis and tennis express in our adult program.

Working as a Competition Coach at the club I played at as a junior. My responsibility was to work with the competition/performance juniors in both group and individual sessions. I also work individually with adults and run a number of cardio tennis sessions through the week. During the week I visit schools to develop our grass roots programme.

At Boldmere a Tennis Club we developed a healthy junior program and membership from nothing. Working closely with local schools and the Tennis Foundation to drive participation in a small outdoor club. After just one year, the club saw a sharp increase in revenue through junior and family memberships. Growing the junior program was key, and at the time of my leaving, we had four LTA level one certified assistants, who had all developed through the junior program.

At HAHA Bar I worked on a part time basis as part of a small group of bar and waiting staff. My roles were to serve drinks in the evening from behind the bar, and to wait tables during the day.
