Coaching Philosophy
I believe in creating opportunities for athletes to challenge themselves. When a gymnast is prepared and determined to meet their goal, they’re unstoppable. I hope to help build confidence that will carry our athletes to success in and out of the gym.
Competitive Background
I was a competitive Irish dancer on a regional and national level from ages 7-17. I also participated in a variety of youth sports including soccer, tennis, and swimming. I started training gymnastics as an adult and was able to compete in my first meet in 2023!
Coaching Experience
I was recruited to the coaching staff at the Piers after consistently training in the Adult Gymnastics program for about a year. It’s been 3 years since then, and I’ve taken every opportunity to grow as a coach. I now coach everyone from preschoolers to competitive gymnasts. Every phase has its own challenges and celebrations, and I love seeing athletes succeed at every level.
Most Memorable Sports Moment
Competing in my first gymnastics meet at age 29. It’s never too late!
