Summer Smash Tennis

Gen Wright-Smith grew up in Kerrisdale and has played with Summer Smash Tennis since she was 8 years old. Gen enjoys many sports like skiing, tennis, gymnastics and surfing. 

 

Before coaching tennis, Gen started tutoring at the age of 13, where she developed her love for teaching. Working with a variety of ages and personalities has enhanced her leadership skills. Gen believes that developing a positive attitude and good sportsmanship is just as beneficial as technical tennis ability. 

 

Gen hopes to pursue a career in mental health and social work. She just finished her undergraduate degree in Global Health and Sociology at the University of Toronto. She’s worked many customer service jobs at restaurants, cafes, and retail stores. In her free time, Gen enjoys making music and art and watching RuPaul’s Drag Race.
