Aquatics
It began when I started at Masonic Village 20 years ago. My passion has always been in helping others, and in doing so, I feel I have grown in the different dimensions of wellness as well. I have felt proudest anytime a member has mentioned that what I showed them helped them in one way or another, such as when a personal training client needs the lift to enter the pool at first and then progresses to entering and exiting the pool via the steps.

Wellness became my passion during a personal battle that began when I was 18. I enjoy helping others because it fulfills me and I feel like we were put on this earth to help each other in some way. My personal wellness goals are to run in a 100 mile race before I’m 40 and just to stay happy and grateful for my health and what I have. My proudest accomplishment related to fitness has been helping someone learn to walk again after years of being unable.
