Meet our amazing General Manager, who has dedicated her career to aquatics and teaching the life skill of swimming. Her journey began at Winter Park Family YMCA in Orlando, FL, where she started working in aquatics at just 15 years old. After high school, she moved to Honolulu, HI, and continued her work in aquatics with the U. S. Navy's recreation department as a Pool Manager and event coordinator. Her passion for aquatics grew during this time, and she decided to pursue a BS degree in Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Management with a concentration in community and commercial recreation from Penn State University (PSU).
During her time at PSU, she oversaw the Lifeguard staff and taught swim lessons in the Aquatics department. After graduation, she moved to South Carolina with her husband to start a family and plant some roots. Over the last 8 years, she has worked for both the Greater Charlotte YMCA and the YMCA of the Upper Palmetto's Aquatic departments before making a change to SafeSplash & SwimLabs. Her love and passion for aquatics has continued to grow at SafeSplash & SwimLabs, where she teaches the amazing life skill of swimming to the Fort Mill community. For her, watching each swimmer meet their swim goals is equivalent to saving a life in the future. With her wealth of experience and passion for aquatics, our General Manager is committed to providing exceptional swim programs at our swim school.
