Private Lessons & Coaches in Avon, IN

As a performer since the tender age of three, I have dedicated my life to the art of music. After obtaining my Bachelor of Arts in Music with a focus on vocal performance, I pursued further studies, earning a Master's in Divinity with an emphasis on pastoral care, counseling, and education. With over two decades of teaching experience, I specialize in nurturing voices of all ages, particularly in transitioning and young voices, across classical, jazz, and musical theater genres. Additionally, I've authored curricula catering to various age groups, from toddlers aged twelve months to seven-year-olds, offering both individual and group classes tailored to each student's needs.

I've swam all my life, growing up in Hawaii I needed to swim in order to surf. At age 9, I began competitve club swimming and didn't look back, competing at a high level, traveling to the mainland US to represent Hawaii in various regional meets (Zones and Sectionals). I specialize in butterfly and breastroke. I continued my swimming career for 4 more years in college at Franklin College in Indiana, where I broke multiple school records, currently holding the 100 and 200 butterfly, 200 breastroke, and 400 Individual medley. I have some experience coaching beginner level swimmers but my true passion would be to help improve high potential young swimmers (10-16) that want to reach the next level. I value technique and underwaters; working smarter in the water can lead to huge time gains. In longer races, efficiency plays a bigger factor than raw strength or talent and I want to help swimmers achieve that. Another asset I can bring to swimmers is a competitive/winners mentality. I have known a lot of swimmers in my experience who were more talented or hardworking than me, but didn't have the mental strength or confidence to push themselves to peak performance on race day. I can talk athletes through the mental part of their races, which I think plays a more significant factor than most realize.
