About
My passion for gymnastics started when I was 9 years old as a USAG competitive athlete and only grew stronger transitioning to a USAG certified coach. Seeing and helping athletes reach there goals and get new skills is the best feeling! I have been coaching for 18 years now and I absolutely love it! I started as a coach in Orlando, Florida where I coached for 7 years and then moved to Little Rock, Arkansas where I coached for 5 years and am now currently back in Florida where I have continued to coach for 6 years. I am a USAG certified coach and have coached everything from preschool recreational gymnastics to competitive level 10. I have continuing education in Artistic gymnastics as well as Trampoline and Tumbling. Working in this sport I have been a guest coach at USAG summer camps, gymnastics summer camp manager, preschool gymnastics director, mobile gymnastics director, director of trampoline and tumbling, head team coach, and Arkansas State Director of T&T for USA Gymnastics. I have currently started my own mobile gymnastics program where I take the gymnastics equipment to daycares, preschools and elementary schools and coach. I do private lessons as well as Birthday parties and bring it all to you!
