Lara Giltinan competed nationally and internationally in junior tennis. She spent 3 years as a tournaments manager for Tennis Australia, before moving to the US and spending the past 10 years managing daylife/nightlife venues in Las Vegas. Her roommate introduced her to pickleball in 2024 and she entered her first PPA event in Vegas in October. Still working in the nightlife space, Lara has climbed to #15 in the singles rankings in 2025. She is excited to try and go full-time soon and dedicate herself fully to pickleball and the PPA Tour.
