Water has always been a big part of my life. Growing up in Michigan, I lived on a large river and a pool in the backyard. The lakes were always around. Naturally, I learned to swim at a very young age. I loved it so much that my mom signed me up for competitive swimming for my school swim club. Between the age of 5 to 18, I was a member of my school's swim team and swim clubs.

I started teaching swim lessons when I turned 16 and continued to do so throughout college. I transitioned into the early childhood classroom to gain more versatile experience. When I was away from the pool, I always had a yearning to go back. The water can teach you so much about life.

My swimming journey has led me to learn a lot about myself and others. I discovered my passion for teaching young children. I have learned how to be patient and when to push boundaries. I found my ultimate happy place being in the water and sharing the joy with others.

I am grateful to be a part of Liquid Lifestyles and to share my experiences with my students and their families. I am delighted to align my passion with my career.
