Hello! My name is Ana, and I’m 22 years old, originally from Pančevo, Serbia. I graduated with a double major in Psychology and Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

As a former international student-athlete, I had the incredible opportunity to compete at the highest collegiate level in the U.S. During my tennis career at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, a Division I school, where I played as high as No. 1 and No. 2 in the lineup throughout my entire time there. I achieved career-high ITA rankings of No. 80 in singles and No. 73 in doubles, earned multiple Player of the Week awards, and was named First Team in singles and Honorable Mention in doubles. In 2023, I was proud to help my team make history by winning both the Big West regular season and the Big West Championship tournament—clinching the championship match along the way. I was also honored to be on the Dean’s List three times during my college career.

I founded Play4College because I want to give student-athletes like myself the guidance and support I wished for when I was going through the recruitment process. My goal is to make this journey clear, exciting, and full of opportunities for talented athletes worldwide.

Drawing from both my academic background and my athletic experience, I’m passionate about helping young athletes find the right path to succeed—both on the court and in the classroom.
