Maja’s exquisite talent and spirit of sport was recognized at an early age by her first coach – her Dad. Soon after winning numerous renowned tournaments in her home country of Croatia, Maja began her professional junior career internationally. With support of her team of coaches and family, she learned the key elements to tennis: humbleness, dedication, patience, and positivity. During these years, Maja had the opportunity to visit numerous countries around the world and meet people from different cultures and backgrounds. Many of which are still her friends today.

     With an injury that paused her professional career, she was pleased by an  offer from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Maja moved to USA, and following year became SCAD’s Women Tennis Team  Captain, following 2012 National Championship Title. With her warm, joyful and competitive  spirit, she became the first SCAD Tennis Assistant Head Coach. Maja helped the team achieve highest  accomplishments with numerous Regional and National wins. Meanwhile, she nourished her other talents and completed her Master’s Degree in  Architecture. 

     Today, with 15 years’ experience teaching all age groups and backgrounds, Maja  is a dedicated professional tennis coach who finds her life and sport  success as an inspiration to others in her local communities. On the court, she  enjoys sharing her love and complex knowledge of the game as a set of life  values to reach student’s full potential, both as players and individuals. Maja’s  lessons are full of patience, competitiveness, hard work, and after all – a lot of fun!
