In 2012, I began to shift my career to education, and am now in my 8th year as a teacher.  I have taught in the Special Education department as well as Speech, and Social Studies (World History/World Geography). I continue to coach swimming and am the Head Coach of the Boys/Girls Swim & Dive team at MAC and work in the summers giving swim lessons to members in the community. Swimmers I have coached through my years have ranged from beginners to Olympic Trials Qualifiers, and many have gone on to swim at universities all over the country. Athletes who I have had the privilege of coaching have set USA National Record (Girls 200 Free Relay 2010), Texas State Age Group (TAGS) Records, South Texas LSC Records, AAAA/FCST Team Records, and numerous Top 10 Nationally Ranked Age Group Swimmers.  In addition, while at FCST, I was able to help assist the Head Coach of our National Team by traveling with them to the Olympic Training Center to train for 10 days, where at the time we had over 10 HS Age Olympic Trial Qualifiers, including the current Olympic Gold Medalist, Simone Manuel! 

Coaching HS swimming is not much different than coaching USA club swimming.  I take the same ideas, goals for the team, and workouts and apply them to our program.  We focus on team before self and rise to meet the expectations given to us.  We have a strong tradition of excellence in racing, and work to continue that tradition each year.
