About Me

Creating Confident Swimmers with Love & Patience

With over 20 years of experience teaching swim lessons, I bring a love of swimming and a passion for helping children feel confident and safe in the water. My goal is to create a positive, encouraging environment where children learn to love the water, gain confidence, and develop lifelong swimming skills—with lots of smiles along the way.

I know how important it is to find the right instructor to work with your child. Feel free to call or email so we can chat and see if I am a good fit for your family's needs. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Passionate Instructor

Growing up in California, I understand how essential swimming skills are for safety and enjoyment.

Early Childhood Education

My ECE background helps me connect with kids and teach in an effective, age-appropriate manner.

Mom of 4

I understand children and know how to make learning fun—even for the most reluctant swimmers.

Fun Learning

Games, songs, and toys make every lesson engaging and help children feel comfortable in the water.

Who I Teach

I specialize in young swimmers—from those who are reluctant to get in the water to those who are ready to learn the basic strokes. I primarily teach in Ladera Ranch and Mission Viejo, but I'm happy to travel for small groups to your local HOA or private pool.
