I was born in Orange County, CA on January 17, 1983. At the age of three my mother signed me up for gymnastics lessons and I’ve been flipping ever since. I was a competitive gymnast for 10 years, eventually reaching the level of Junior Elite Class (now called Level 10). I was lucky enough to have top notch coaching, including Chinese Olympian and World Champion Li Xiaoping. Gymnastics was always a great challenge for me. I am very proud of what I have been able to achieve in this sport. I consider qualifying to the Junior National Championships the single greatest achievement of my life.

I loved competing, but even as a kid I always wanted to be a coach. I have been a boys gymnastics coach at Central Coach Gymnastics since October 2001. I have taught all levels from Class A to competitive team. As an athlete I have learned so much about what it takes to make dreams into reality. My dream is to inspire and pass on my knowledge to young people so they can grow and become happy, successful adults. My goal is to build a competitive team and recreational gymnastics program to rival any in the state. I am proud to see the great strides we have made toward this goal.

Meanwhile, I am pursuing a Computer Engineering degree at Cal Poly. Whatever the future holds for me, one thing is certain, gymnastics is in my blood and will always be a part of my life.

I have been involved in gymnastics my entire life. I started competing in elementary school and competed around the country through high school. Unfortunately, I sustained injuries that did not allow me to continue gymnastics; however, this opened the door to diving, as well as my passion for physical therapy. I competed for the Northeastern University Swimming and Diving team before continuing my studies to earn my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2013.

While I loved my PT career working with children with special needs, I always wanted to combine my passions for gymnastics and physical therapy. I have been coaching gymnastics and choreographing since high school and have spent the past 5 years developing programming to reduce injuries and further the sport of gymnastics through science-based training and techniques. In 2014 I joined Precision Choreography and since then have taken part in gymnastics camps and clinics from Alaska to Vermont, as well as choreographed beginner through elite-level routines.

I love being able to share my knowledge and excitement for gymnastics with coaches and athletes around the country.
