She earned a full athletic scholarship to play for Delta State University and went on to earn her BA and then a Masters degree in Sports Management. Milena served as Director of Tennis at Cleveland Country Club in Mississippi. She also coached at Midtown Athletic Club in Weston, Florida, before joining the PTR team as Director of Development and Diversity where she is heavily involved with coaches’ education.
