Originally from Syracuse, New York, I moved to Florida in June 2025 and continue pursuing my passion for teaching swimming. With more than 20 years of experience, I help swimmers of all ages build confidence, develop strong skills, and feel comfortable in the water. Water safety has always been a top priority, and I incorporate those principles into every lesson. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment where swimmers can learn and grow. I have worked with beginners taking their first steps in the water as well as experienced swimmers refining their technique. Every swimmer learns differently, so I adapt my teaching approach to meet individual needs. I look forward to helping each swimmer develop the confidence, skills, and safety awareness needed to succeed in and around the water.
