My coaching experience began as a 15 year old, passionate competitive swimmer. My first job, was lifeguarding, teaching swim lessons, and coaching youth. I have gone from recreational coach to Co-Head Coach Cooper Institute of McKinney. I have developed and directed Stroke School programs for 2 different facilities. While working as Co-Head Coach for 2 summer leagues, we won our local championships!

As an athlete, my freshman year in high school, I earned Varsity status and was awarded the "Dedication and Determination Award". Butterfly was my favorite stroke, and I competed at the State level. I consistently dropped my time at every meet, and continued on until I began coaching.
