I competed in my first triathlon when I was 7 years old. After swimming in college, I competed as a professional athlete for 15 years. I've represented the USA at World Championships in 7 different sports.
Today, I am coaching swimming & triathlon with Swim Like a Pro and the SLAP Tri Team in Central Florida. We work with athletes of all ages, all abilities, and all kinds of goals and dreams!
I strive to make swimming and triathlon fun and accessible for people of all ages and abilities. I get immense joy from helping people achieve their personal goals and live their endurance dreams!
