I was born and raised in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. At an early age I learned to swim at the local YMCA. After learning to swim I joined the swim team and later become a swim instructor and lifeguard. Swimming has always been an important part of me growing up and staying activity.
After moving to Georgia and having children, they also had a passion for swimming. We spent many years at Thursday night summer leagues swim meets. Some of my favorite memories happened at those meets.
Following my passion of swimming, seven years ago I began teaching swim lessons at the J.M. Tull- Gwinnett Family YMCA and will be my second year as a swim coach. I’m excited for the new swim season and looking forward to watching the swimmers achieve their goals.
