Nicole Wilson hails from Yakima, WA but she cultivated her passion for tennis over 10 years ago when she lived in Boise, ID.

She began playing recreationally and quickly fell in love with the sport, it’s people and culture. After playing USTA league for multiple years; she knew that tennis was no longer just a hobby for her but a lifestyle. She became PTR certified and provided youth instruction shortly before her family’s many relocations.

From Idaho her family relocated to Utah, to Oregon and ultimately she returned to her roots here in Washington. Tennis remained a constant throughout those many life changes and she credits the sport for helping her grow friendships and relationships where there was none in her new surroundings.

Nicole is very excited to be apart of the Galbraith team and looks forward to growing the game of tennis and helping others experience the game’s gifts just as she has.
