I grew up in India and started playing golf at the age of 12. My passion for the game grew quickly as I began winning local tournaments, travelling and representing my country in various international tournament, eventually earning my first international victory at 15. I went on to complete my bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Missouri–St. Louis, where I played on the golf team. My collegiate career was so rewarding that I was inducted into both the UMSL Sports Hall of Fame in 2020 and the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Hall of Fame in 2024.

After graduation, I returned to India to compete on the WGAI professional tour, where I secured two victories. An elbow injury brought me back to the States, where I became the Graduate Assistant Coach for the Augsburg University Men’s and Women’s golf teams—an experience that sparked my passion for coaching.

In 2021, I was recruited by a private country club in St. Louis, where I continued to grow my teaching and coaching skills. Two years ago, I moved to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, where I discovered how much I missed coaching. I jumped right back in, working with the PGA Junior League, Player Pathway, and summer golf programs at the resort. I also had the privilege of coaching the Bandon High School Girls Golf Team for a season after earning my PGA membership in 2024.

Now, as I make the move to Crescent City, I’m excited to expand my coaching reach and help more players fall in love with the game. My philosophy is simple—elevate your game and embrace the experience. Because if you’re not having fun, what’s the point of getting better?
