I’ve had a passion for swimming and coaching most of my life. I joined lifesaving and pool competitions at the age of 6. I started coaching and teaching at 17 whilst still competing. For the last 20 years I’ve been managing Council facility pools, teaching many children to swim. Throughout this time, I have been lucky enough to have taught and coached hundreds of students. As a result, I was afforded a spot as a coach on the Queensland and Australian Junior swim squads. Beyond thankful, is how I feel about the staff and patrons that attend this centre. We all work towards the common goal of teaching the children to swim in a comfortable, relaxed and fun environment. 

I am in year 11 at Sunshine Coast Grammar School and when I leave school I hope to study Midwifery/Nursing as well as I hope to pursue a sporting career.

I love all my sports but my favourite is my Surf Life Saving where I train near 10 times a week. I am an active member of the Metropolitan Surf Club (Kings Beach).

Fun fact, I have 4 brothers and I learnt how to swim here at Moffat Beach Swim School.

I have been doing surf lifesaving/nippers at Metropolitan Caloundra for the past 10 years and I still continue to swim myself.
I have a passion towards teaching the children how to swim as I still remember from today on who my swim teacher is.

Outside the pool I enjoy playing netball and going hiking whenever I can. I love staying active and being outdoors and I bring that same energy and enthusiasm into every lesson I teach. I very much enjoy being in the pool and get in every chance I get!
