Born and raised on a subtropical coastline, the sea was a part of my life from infancy. My love for water developed as I grew older and became a competitive swimmer. I did well in national competitive swimming as well as open water meets for a few years before becoming a swim teacher in 2017.

My competitive background in swimming makes me deeply passionate about this sport. Swimming is a life skill - all children should be water safe and have a sense of confidence when in the water. Seeing children progress and develop their own love for the water and this sport is what motivates me.

I am a qualified Play Therapist for my day job, through which my impact in children’s lives has only grown.
