I have been swimming for as long as I can remember, starting with learning to swim at Shabbona Park. I would walk there in the summers with friends to go have fun and race at the open swims. Then I joined the swim team at Resurrection High School. I was even part of the group of girls who started the water polo team at the high school as well as working with the St. Patrick's swim lessons during the summer. Now I'm giving back to my alma mater and coaching the swim team along side Coach Nicole.

I am the youngest of two children from a loving and happy Puerto Rican family that loved to travel.  I'm also a mother to three beautiful children (Kaiden, Thalía, and Malia) that I hope love the water as much as me. In the past I have babysat, worked as a sale expert at American Eagle, and an assistant teacher at a Montessori. I like baking, working out, reading books, and enjoy spending time with my wonderful children and see all the amazing things they can do. Fun fact - I challenge myself every once in a while,  by doing obstacles races with my partner.

When she first came to the club as the parent of a new swimmer, she was looking for something to get her son active and be part of a team.

Now, her son will be taking his talents to the Augustana College swim team and she was looking to do more with her free time. She is a former police officer and has spent several years volunteering at her son’s schools, as well as Advocate Children’s Hospital.

She’s looking forward to working with all the families in the Sharks Swim Club and is dedicated to continue the growth and future of the club.
