My Journey
Over the last twenty years swimming has been a connecting force to self, to nature, to local & global community. It’ has provided a lens through which to experience the world, navigate challenges, and develop an authentic process rooted in passion and curiosity. It is with humility and joy that I share this journey with all water beings at the water’s edge.
As a member of Team USA I’ve traveled the world competing internationally against some of the best in the world, posting top 40 world rankings in sprint freestyle, backstroke and butterfly along the way. During my time as a UCLA Bruin I held school records in four individual and five relay events.
After graduating UCLA with a degree in Geography- Environmental Studies and Spanish I served in AmeriCorps Food Corps program leading hands on garden education classes into elementary school curriculum. Upon moving to Hawaii I served as a program coordinator for Surfrider Spirit sessions providing at risk youth space through ocean-based mentorship program. Throughout this time I’ve continued to give back to the local communities through clinics, workshops and coaching- sharing my eclectic wealth of knowledge from around the world across all ages and abilities!
In third grade I was diagnosed with scoliosis. It was severe enough to the point doctors recommended inserting a metal rod to help straighten the curve and prevent it from getting worse. I had just started swimming and as an active eight year old girl this would severely limit my longevity in athletics. Looking into alternative options I began working with a practitioner who specialized in yoga for scoliosis. What began as a chore developed into an appreciation for the physical benefits in how it helped my swimming. The practice evolved into a method to improve the mental side of sport. A tool for inducing flow state - helpful for competitive performance. Only recently did I begin to embrace the totality of yoga.
It has become an all encompassing way of being. A way to show up more presently and deeply in life.
