I was born in Oklahoma, then moved to McKinney, Texas when I was in 5th grade. I started working in the Aquatics industry at the age of 16 for the City of McKinney as lifeguard and swim instructor, and never really left the industry. I graduated from University of North Texas with a degree in Psychology and Political Science, and received a minor in Development and Family Studies. During my 15+ years in the industry, I have had the opportunity to work in several roles from lifeguarding, to leading swim lessons, to becoming a program coordinator, and finally landing in my current role as Aquatics Director at Shalom Austin. I love to train! Whether it swim lessons, swim team, new staff (lifeguards or swim instructors), and even developing new full-time staff members. I have gained priceless experiences and knowledge from my current and former positions, supervisors, and colleagues that have been part of my career. My position at Shalom Austin (local non-profit JCC) has afforded me the opportunity to wear multiple hats in our organization, which has allowed me to see the bigger picture for our community and see the benefits of true teamwork. When I am off, I enjoy being outside in nature, hiking, and camping.
