I started swimming when I was 5, and I swam for Miami University (OH) where I specialized in middle distance freestyle. I competed in the 2013 World Maccabi Games, bringing home a silver medal in the 100M FR. I've been coaching all levels for the past 10 years, but have been coaching (and competing with) master's swimmers for the past 3 years at Nashville Aquatic Club in Nashville, TN. I recently completed my master's in forensic psychology, and now work for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. I dabble in stand-up comedy outside of the pool, have a chocolate lab named Pekka and love sharing my passion for swimming!
