June 2025 Meet a member: Guillermina Grant, IC of Uruguay Guillermina Grant, a recent graduate of the University of Georgia (UGA) with a degree in Business Management & Administration, is now pursuing a master's in Financial Planning at the same institution. During her time at UGA, she was a key player on the university's tennis team, contributing significantly to their NCAA National Championship victory. Guillermina's dedication to tennis extends beyond her collegiate career. She's been a proud member of the IC of Uruguay for eight years, starting her journey at just 13 years old. Her first involvement was in 2015, representing Uruguay in the South American IC Junior Challenge regional qualifier in Argentina. There, she not only competed but also earned the Sportsmanship Award alongside Chile's Patricio Gómez. Her most cherished IC memories came from the Worldwide Finals in Tokyo and the ICGB 100 anniversary last year in London. In Tokyo Guillermina made her mark, winning her first official mixed doubles match against Japan. She fondly recalls the experience: "Apart from the tennis, we had the chance to meet players from different countries and develop friendships for life." In London, the event allowed her to have the unique opportunity to play doubles with her mother at the prestigious Wimbledon and connect with members from around the world. Beyond the court, Guillermina highly values the networking aspect of the IC community. She appreciates the opportunity to connect with members who have successful careers and to learn from their experiences. When she's back home, Guillermina also dedicates her time to the IC of Uruguay’s philanthropy programme. She finds immense satisfaction in "seeing more and more kids holding tennis rackets," highlighting her passion for introducing the sport to a new generation. You can connect with Guillermina and learn more about her journey through her LinkedIn profile.
