Hi, I'm Karina

I grew up in the Dominican Republic playing competitive tennis, until a knee injury ended that path. I picked up golf just to stay active and it took over fast. Four years later I'd qualified for the LPGA Symetra Tour, spent five years on the Dominican National Golf Team, won National Champion four times, and was named Athlete of the Year by the Dominican National Association of Sports Writers.

Before any of that, I was working as a graphic designer. Golf pulled me away from a desk and into a full-time playing career and eventually into coaching. I moved to Orlando to study at Professional Golfers Career College, and I've been teaching ever since. I'm fully bilingual in English and Spanish, so I can coach however a student thinks most naturally.

Along the way, I became TPI-Certified and it changed how I coach entirely. Instead of teaching a generic swing model, I start every student with a body screen, so the plan we build together fits how you actually move, not a checklist pulled from a textbook.
