I have been swimming competitively for over 14 years. I am
originally from Pueblo, Colorado where I swam on Pueblo Swim Club.
When I was a freshman in high school, I began teaching lessons and
helping coach for my club team. When I graduated from high school,
I came to Mesa State College to go to school and swim. As of
May 12, 2012, I graduated from Colorado Mesa University with a
degree in Elementary Education. I love swimming, and I love kids,
so I am excited to have this opportunity where I get the best of
both worlds.
