Lauren is the number one ranked pickleball player in the Dominican Republic and one of the country's leading coaches.

She represents the DR at the highest level of the sport and spends her time off court building the next wave of players coming up behind her. When pickleball talks about where the sport is going, Lauren is already there showing what it looks like.

Julie is a player out of Fort Lauderdale and one of our strongest connectors on the ground. She links us with the businesses, organizations, and people who make the community what it is, and she's a big part of how Canvas keeps showing up where it matters most.

The sport grows because of people like Julie, the ones quietly making the introductions and getting the right rooms in the same room.
