Growing up, her dad called her "the fish" because she always wanted to be swimming, no matter what body of water it was. She signed up to do the open water diver class the day she turned 12 (that was the minimum age or it would've been sooner). She has been an avid diver for 23 years now and loves every minute! After spending some years working with animals at zoos and aquariums from Chicago to Logan, Utah, she decided to settle back into Logan and start her journey to teaching Scuba! She loves teaching, and also loves learning from the students every day. Give this girl a body of water, and she'll dive it!
