Meet Our Amazing Team!
DanielleFounderMeet our amazing founder! After graduating from the University of Ottawa with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Danielle dedicated 25 years to caring for families as a neonatal intensive care nurse. Her love of tennis came later in life through her children, but what started as a way to support their involvement in the sport quickly grew into a passion of her own. She went on to earn her Tennis Canada Instructor certification and can often be found both behind the scenes creating a vision for the organization, and also on the courts sharing her enthusiasm for the game. Driven by a passion for making a difference, Danielle recognized a need in the community and set out to create meaningful opportunities for children, adults and families. Through tennis, she is committed to helping young people develop confidence, leadership skills, resilience, and a lifelong love of being active. Her vision is to build stronger communities, support healthier families, and create positive experiences that extend far beyond the tennis court. 🏥💕😊
