Head Coach: Kristina DeHerrera
My name is Kristina DeHerrera and I’m excited to join the SMA community as the new varsity tennis coach. I started playing tennis when I was seven or eight years old and played varsity tennis and volleyball all four years of high school and qualified for state tennis multiple times. I also taught lessons and ran clinics for kids ages 3-12 in Pueblo. After college, I coached a varsity girls’ team in Syracuse, NY while working nights at my full time job. When I moved back to Colorado, I was an assistant coach at Monarch High School in Louisville for both the boys and girls tennis teams while attending law school. I love the game and have learned through my adult life, as I continue to play recreationally, that I also really enjoy coaching/teaching but with my work schedule it hasn’t been feasible until recently. I have a BS in Chemical Engineering from Colorado State University and a J.D. from the University of Colorado. I’m currently working as a patent examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and in my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, and lots of outdoor activities including volleyball, fishing, backpacking, biking, and cross country skiing.
