It is a pleasure to be part of Gymlingo Academy and have the opportunity to be part of your children’s lives. After working in the Financial Sector for over 10 years, I decided to follow my passion … gymnastics. I was a competitive gymnast in Hawaii for over 10 years. I have been teaching gymnastics for over 4 years. I love hanging out with my amazing children, Morgan (7) and Ava (5). We enjoy spending time at our cottage on Green Lake, swimming, boating and going for bike rides. Live is an adventure, we need to enjoy the ride. I look forward to getting to know you and your children. I promise to give 100% of my skills each and every class. Thank you for your trust and the opportunity to make a difference in your family’s life. Remember, enjoy the ride.

Gymnastics has been a part of my life since I was a child. I was a college gymnast at UW-Oshkosh where I was fortunate to be part of 2 National Championship teams. I have coached many levels including high school, club and college since then. I am passionate about providing kids ample opportunities to explore their skills and enhance their self-confidence while doing so. Gymnastics builds a great foundation for all kids to grow from. After recently moving from the Madison area it is great to be here in Oconomowoc and part of Gymlingo. I work part-time as a physical education teacher as well. I look forward to getting to know many of you!
