I joined the SwimLabs team when we opened! I began swimming at a young age for my neighborhood swim team, the Foxridge Foxes, and year around for Aces. Swimming has always been a part of my life and I enjoy seeing swimmers of all ages learn to swim better. I am passionate about developing great instructors and working with children. We recently had a baby girl, Emerson! Our family also enjoys hiking and canoeing.
