Coaching Philosophy
As a swim instructor, I focus on creating a safe and supportive environment for all kiddos. As well as emphasizing the importance of creating/building confidence in the water, fostering a love for swimming, and ensuring that each swimmer progresses at their own pace. I’m here to ensure we have a fantastic time while learning to swim safely and confidently!
Competitive Background
I’ve been a swimmer since I was 3 years old, and I never stopped my love for swimming. I was part of a swim team between the ages of 8-13.
Coaching Experience
At a young age, I knew I wanted to help others in some way. Once I turned 15, I became a swim instructor and for the past 3 years I've dedicated myself to teaching children the importance of water safety and swimming skills.
Most Memorable Sports Moment
My first ever swim meet I won first place in breaststroke and backstroke. I’d never felt prouder since those were two difficult strokes for me.
