Coming from Florida to South Carolina, I am grateful to bring a lifelong passion and career in aquatics to the area. I began as a swimmer in the USA swimming clubs at an early age, and grew to compete in both swimming, diving, and water polo through my college years. Shortly after, I transitioned to coaching and have been able to work alongside USA swimming and FHSAA to develop wonderful swimmers, water polo players, and aquatics programs, competing and setting records at the national level. I love to work with all types and levels of swimmers, and look forward to fostering a love for the water, as well as strengthening their skills in every aspect of swimming. Happy, strong swimmers are my goal!
