From starting as a baby in parent tot lessons to swimming for Azusa Pacific University, the water has always been my second home. My first job at 15 was lifeguarding and instructing lessons for children and adults of all ages. I did this throughout high school while also being a leader on the swim team and captain of our water polo team. From there I instructed at my college pool as well as a YMCA in Southern California. Summers I would spend with family while working at a swim day camp in Seattle. Now I am back in Washington for good, ready to share my nearly 10 years of experience and love for the water to the SwimQwik family!

I graduated with a degree in Biology and Environmental Studies. That being said, if you can't find me at the pool, you'll find me outside! I enjoy hiking, backpacking, sailing, camping, and overall enjoying nature to its fullest. I am interested in potentially continuing my education in marine biology but until then I am independently researching the beauty of the Pacific Northwest!

My club and university experience allows me to focus on technique more than anything. As an instructor, I am detail oriented when it comes to strokes but also value the child's ability to have fun in the water! I believe connecting with the swimmer is a priority in order for them to feel safe and have a productive and cheerful experience. I begin every lesson by first asking how their day was and then establishing goals for our time together. I hope to see you in the pools soon!
