Stuhlmann played college tennis but has played professionally in pickleball. She makes her living, though, mostly in her role as an influencer. That's by design.
"Since I was young, tennis fashion has held a cherished spot in my heart," she wrote on her website. "Growing up, I'd spend hours sketching designs for tennis skirts, tops, and dresses, envisioning myself on the court in each creation. The graceful elegance of Maria Sharapova and the bold fierceness of Serena Williams served as constant inspirations, prompting me to consistently include 'Nike Court tennis dress' on my birthday and Christmas wish lists."

Her time at the University of Missouri was solid, no question about it. While she might not have been a household name in the tennis world, her contributions to the Tigers' women's tennis team were undeniable. Competing in both singles and doubles, Stuhlmann showed grit and leadership.
She wasn't racking up professional titles, but what she did on the court for Mizzou spoke volumes about her competitive drive. You could count on her to step up when needed, and that's what any team needs—someone who can bring it day in and day out, even if the national spotlight didn't shine too brightly on her.
