I have been coaching for 13 years and have coached all levels of boys and girls gymnastics, including teams. I have also coached all levels of trampoline and tumbling, recreational and team, and all levels of All-Star Cheerleading, recreational and teams. I have also coached many private lessons of all ages and divers for dry land training. I have worked at East Coast Gymnastics and Sun Country Sports Center and currently own East Coast Gymnastics. I typically work with athletes ages 5 to 18 years old, but can work with younger or older athletes and have in the past. I am First Aid and CPR certified, as well as being a USAG and USASF member. I have multiple safety certifications through USAG including my Safe Sport certification.

I was a level 10 gymnast for multiple years and competed at state and regional competitions. As well, I competed as a level 4 All-Star Cheerleader for multiple years and also competed at state and regional competitions. Throughout High School I was also a diver and won Florida D2 State Championships my senior year.

A typical session with me starts with a quick warm up and stretch to get going. I then go into drills for the specified skills you'd like to accomplish by the end of our sessions. I like to break down the skills into its components and parts and work drills directly related to each part before bringing them back together piece by piece until we arrive at the final skills. The last portion of the session is performing the desired skill over and over until I can give adequate corrections and insight on what to do next. I end every session with a short cool down as well as some drills and conditioning items to do at home to better achieve the specified skill.
