Tell us about your sports and fitness background.

 grew up playing a variety of sports, including basketball, softball, field hockey, and track. Staying active has always been an important part of my life, and I love keeping that competitive and energetic spirit alive through fitness today.

 

When did you start at MCAC? How did you first get exposed to MCAC? How did your first couple of workouts go?

 I joined MCAC in December 2022 after my fiancé and I bought a house nearby. He’s originally from the Cape and told me about Mid-Cape as a great local spot. From day one, it’s been a fantastic experience—the staff is friendly, the environment is motivating, and I’ve felt right at home since my very first workout.😊

 

What is your favorite movement/workout?

Tennis!

 

What impact has MCAC had on your life?

When I first joined MCAC, I would run on the treadmill and watch people play tennis. I had never played before, but it looked fun and challenging, so I decided to sign up for a beginner class. One day, I tried a "Play with a Pro" session and started going every Tuesday—soon, I completely fell in love with the game. Now, I play in a few leagues and even participate in tournaments. MCAC has truly introduced me to a sport I never expected to love, and it's become a big part of my life.

​

Do you have a favorite MCAC moment?

So many awesome moments at Mid Cape and because of Mid Cape, but I think my favorite moments are our “Planning Table” meetings with my tennis friends where we sit around and laugh, plan trips, and discuss ways to celebrate and help other tennis member friends. The other favorite memory was when Netty took me as her guest and we saw Serena Williams’ US Open match in the USTA New England Box– and when Netty and I rode in the US Open elevator alone with former President Bill Clinton and his Secret Service!

 

What is your advice for people just getting started or thinking about starting MCAC?

Just go for it—sign up, take the class, try something new! You won’t regret it. Everyone at MCAC is welcoming, and you might end up discovering a new passion like I did. It’s a great place to learn, grow, and have fun along the way.

​

What is keeping you at MCAC?

The community, the energy, and the variety of activities keep me coming back. I’ve made great friends through tennis, and the supportive atmosphere makes it easy to stay motivated.
