Masters Swimmer

Grew up in Beavercreek, Ohio. Started swimming summer league when I was 8 and transitioned straight to year round swimming and never looked back. Competed at Ohio HS State meet 3 years, YMCA Nationals 5 years. HS All-American. Inducted into HS Hall of Fame in 2010. Attended the University of South Carolina, where I was a 4 time All-American, a member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll, and the Female Student Athlete of the Year in 1995.

I stopped swimming after college, until an injury forced me back into the pool in 2015, with a lot of encouragement from my best friend. I joined SwmMAC Masters, and found a tremendous community. We are more than a team--we are family. I've so enjoyed everything I have learned, experienced, and gained from swimming, so when an opportunity to give back to the sport, I accepted the chance with open arms. I've served on the NCMS Board since 2019, and just recently accepted the Chair position.
