From a young age, I was always drawn to the water, even though I grew up far from the ocean. My goal was always to get closer to the sea, and when I started college, I finally had the opportunity to try scuba diving. From the very first moments in the pool, I fell in love with the underwater world. After my first class, I knew I wanted to share that life-changing experience with as many people as possible and help others discover the incredible feeling of exploring beneath the surface.I began my career as a dive professional in cold water environments surrounded by kelp forests, where I developed a deep appreciation for marine life and underwater adventure. Wanting to experience a completely different side of diving, I moved to Key Largo to dive coral reefs and continue growing as a professional in one of the world’s most iconic dive destinations. Every dive here offers something new and unforgettable, and getting to share those moments with others never gets old.As I continue my career in Key Largo, I’m focused on expanding my knowledge by teaching additional specialty courses, mentoring divers who are passionate about continuing their education or pursuing professional-level certifications, and deepening my understanding of dive equipment maintenance and repair. Safety, education, and creating memorable experiences underwater are the parts of diving I value most, and I’m excited to continue helping others explore and enjoy the ocean with confidence.&nbsp;

Scuba Diving changed my life, so I made it my life's mission to teach diving so that I might help another change theirs. Diving in the keys has some of the most diverse marine life, you never know what you will see! I would like to become an Instructor Certifier.

Education that feels like entertainment is the name of my game. If you’re looking to unlock the other 70% of this world that is underwater, I can get you there. Each course I teach is curated for what you need most. I do not believe in cookie-cutter experiences and enjoy the diversity of clients that this industry brings. Who knows?! Maybe if you can master the Art of Water with me I could should you the way of the other three
