After nearly 30 years in performance tennis, competing on the global stage, traveling extensively, and coaching athletes, I never imagined my next chapter would involve two wheels and lush greens.

However, in 2016, an ankle injury led me to hop on a road bike for the first time, transforming a rehabilitation tool into a profound passion that has endured over the past 10 years.

My golf story started right after retiring from professional tennis in 1996, while earning my business degree at Stellenbosch University. I swiftly achieved a single handicap and was fortunate to play and learn from top South African amateurs.

Though tennis coaching and family life put golf on pause, joining the Tieke Golf Estate Golf Ops team has reignited that enthusiasm with full force.

Calling Cambridge, New Zealand home for the past 23 years, a thriving cycling community, I've merged my sports background, business expertise, and wanderlust into thrilling adventures. I've guided eight cycling tours to Northern Italy, irresistibly drawn back by the epic landscapes, vibrant culture, exquisite food, and shared camaraderie. With golf trips now added, I am looking forward to the next sporting escapes. I'm eager to share these journeys with fellow cyclists and golfers, creating memories to last a lifetime.
