I went on to study and swim on the women’s swim team at Princeton University from 1993-1997 (captain senior year). At Hershey High School I was on the girl’s swim team (captain senior year) and the girl’s soccer team from 1989-1993.
Shortly after learning the basics, I joined the Hershey Aquatic Club and swam with HAC through high school. I grew up in Hershey, PA and started swimming at age 5 on a “mini” swim team with International Swimming Hall of Fame award winning coach, Rusty Owens.

I am constantly learning from my swimmers and strive to be the best coach I can be for them. I enjoy that part of my role of coach is also that of learner.
