Hi, I’m Ivana

I love sharing my enthusiasm for sport, fitness and adventure. I represented Australia in the 2025 Beach Tennis World Cup, earned a tennis scholarship in the U.S. from 2013-2016 and have been a qualified personal trainer since 2011.

My focus is on curating events and experiences that bring people together through movement, connection and the outdoors.

Throughout my sporting career I’ve been fortunate to play Club tennis in Switzerland, coach junior development players in college-readiness programs in California and teach tennis to holidaymakers across luxury resorts in the Mauritius Islands.

When I founded Pioneer Athletica in 2018, I knew my background in sport was a privilege, and I wanted to recreate and share the best of those experiences with many more people.

I truly believe everyone has a little athlete inside them - sometimes, it just takes a little reminding.
