26 year-old Shaddae Findley, from Rose Heights in Montego Bay, Jamaica, is a proud alum of Montego Bay High School where she excelled in academics and also as a member of the school's tennis team. She began her tennis journey at the young age of 11, under the guidance of her father, who had a passion for the sport. Despite financial challenges, Shaddae's love for tennis and determination to succeed led her parents to make sacrifices to pay for tennis classes. She also credits her coach for her success in tennis as he ensured that she came to classes even when her parents couldn't pay. In 2015 after completing High School she was able to secure a tennis scholarship to Prairie View A&M University in Texas, where she represented the school on the court. This opportunity led to even greater opportunities, including a full scholarship to Columbia University, where she completed her master's degree in
Enterprise Risk Management.
In 2020 she began her career at Goldman Sachs as an analyst and has been 'climbing the ladder since becoming a Snr. Analyst in 2021 and more recently an associate in December 2022. Shaddae is grateful for the opportunities that her talent and dedication to tennis have provided.
