Co-Head Coach: Swimming

Special Olympics Experience: Volunteer for Swimming and Basketball 

Background: Former competitive swimmer, lifeguard and swim instructor. Labor and Delivery nurse for 20+ years. 

Why I Love Coaching Special Olympics: I love coaching Special Olympics because it’s a culture that never assumes someone isn’t capable. Instead of focusing on limitations, we focus on possibilities.  Swimming is so special because you get to witness an incredible transformation. Many of our athletes face many physical challenges, but once they are in the water they often move with confidence and ease. The water creates opportunities for strength, independence and joy in ways that are truly remarkable.
