Instructor
Susan loves the game of pickleball and has a passion for helping others learn to play, build their skills, and discover how much fun the game can be! A former collegiate racquetball player, she was excited to pick up a paddle and learn this new sport. Her own pickleball journey began in a Community Education beginner class—just like this one—and has grown into playing at higher levels, including leagues, and lessons from professional pickleball players. Susan especially enjoys encouraging new players, helping them gain confidence on the court, and inspiring them to keep learning and improving their game. She hopes to give others the same great start that sparked her own love of pickleball!
