I've spent the past five years or so trying to help kids learn everything from swimming to ice skating to piano--and a whole host of other skills. Regardless of whether I'm teaching swimming or skating or piano, I focus on learning skills by having fun. On a typical day, I will be inspired by my students who look upon challenges as opportunities to play. We will take small steps. We will learn how to swim by blowing bubbles before we take the plunge.

I am a mom to two adults, a 25-year-old daughter and an 18-year-old son with 22q Deletion Syndrome and ASD. I am also a lifelong swimmer who swam competitively as a child. I have been teaching swim lessons since March 2024, but I have worked with children for most of my adult life. I was a nanny in my early 20s. I have coached youth volleyball since 2003. I taught toddler music lessons a few years ago as well. What I love about teaching swimming, though, is that lightbulb moment when breath, buoyancy, and propulsion all come together and a child realizes they can swim. I also love to challenge older swimmers to push their limits safely to achieve more in the pool, whether it be learning to dive or swim butterfly.
