I am an English Education major at Illinois State University; I've just finished my sophomore year. For eleven years, I swam for the Itasca Dolphins, and I swam for four years at Lake Park High School. My favorite events are the 50 Freestyle,100 Freestyle, and 50 Backstroke. Swimming has always been an important part of my life, so I'm extremely excited to begin my first year of coaching. I'm looking forward to building relationships with the swimmers and their families, as well as helping each swimmer to be the best swimmer they can be. Here's to an awesome season!
