My 11 years of competitive swimming experience has led to a highly detailed and practical understanding of stroke technique.

My strong connection with water and children has deeply influenced my career. From babysitter to in-home nanny, I found my passion for nurturing young minds. As a private swim coach for ages 1 to adults, I enjoy teaching swimming skills and building confidence around water. Since February 2021, I have specialized in swim lessons for children needing extra support. Its rewarding to see breakthroughs, such as children with autism swimming independently after tailored coaching.
