What is your coaching philosophy?

For me, coaching means providing a fun and exciting experience for the kiddos. I absolutely love seeing their faces light up when they achieve a new skill - or wipe out! Life is not always perfect, but teaching kids that you can overcome your struggles is the most fulfilling aspect of coaching for me. 

How many years have you coached/where did you start?

I started coaching dance and gymnastics when I was in highschool. I've been at Winkids since 2022. 

What is your competitive background?

I started competing in gymnastics when I was 5 in level 4. In 2011, my family moved to Texas so I could train at WOGA Gymnastics. When I was 11, I had my first level 10 season. In 2014, I competed in the US Classics Elite competition. After the season, I was awarded the 2014 Junior Olympic Gymnast of the Year. I have competed in several dance competitions as well growing up. 

What is your most memorable sports moment? 

My most memorable coaching moment was my first Trampoline and Tumbling competition. I grew up in artistic women's gymnastics, so being able to experience another side of gymnastics was awesome. Transitioning to the T&T world last year was so much fun, and I enjoy learning different sides of the gymnastics world. I love the environment and energy of the competitions as they are very different from the competitions I grew up doing.
