Our Instructors

I’ve been a swimmer since I was young. I started competitive swimming since 10 years old and am currently on Bellevue Club Swim Team. I made Pacific Northwest championship and Age Group Regional times for breaststroke. Swimming has always been a big part of my life and I have made many friends and enjoyable memories through this sport. I am looking forward to helping my students become better swimmers and allowing them to have the same great experience I had as a swimmer.

I started taking swim lessons at 4 years old and immediately fell in love with the sport. Shortly after, I started swimming competitively for Wave Aquatics at 6. Swimming has been one of the biggest parts of my life, full of exciting experiences and long lasting memories. I believe that swimming is one of the most important skills someone can have and I hope that I can help my students become a better swimmer and fall in love with the sport the same way I have.

I started swimming when I was two years old and began competing when I was five, almost six, years old. With almost a decade of competitive swimming experience, I’ve gained countless unforgettable memories and friends along the way. Swimming has taught me numerous life lessons, including the power of perseverance, making every moment count, and setting reachable goals to track my improvement. I’m thrilled to have an opportunity to share my joy and passion for this sport with my students!

I have been in the water and swimming on my own since I was 2 but started to actually take lessons when I was 5 years old at PRO Club till the Pre-Comp level. I swam competitively on EAST for 6 years. I now swim for my school where I am a leader in my own way. Some of my other hobbies include playing sports with my friends, specifically football and basketball. I’m excited to work with Cyan and helping young swimmers begin to start their own career in a sport that has helped me shape my present day life.

I've been in the water since before I could read. I swam competitively for four years, then left to play for a water polo team for another four years because I enjoyed playing a team sport more. Nevertheless, I never stopped swimming and improving the swim skills I didn't use in water polo. And most importantly, I love teaching. It fills me with pride to watch the people I help grow, perform, and succeed.

I've been swimming ever since I came to the U.S. Swimming has been a big part of my life and always will be (12 years). It has always helped me to stay busy and grow as a person. Now that I don't swim competitively anymore doesn't mean I don't have to stop swimming or helping others learn the sport. Swimming is a healthy activity that you can continue for a lifetime.  I hope I can help the kids that come to Cyan swimming that they know how to swim and do so in a safe environment. Along they way il make it fun and make sure they also get a little workout and along the way make new friends. 

I have been a swimmer for over 12 years. I have been a competitive swimmer for over 6 years now. During the fall and winter, I was on the swim team and during the spring and summer, I used to be in my local water polo team. I am also into white water kayaking and I travel across the PNW to kayak down some rivers I have never been to. I am excited to teach you some skills that I have picked up while swimming in all different types of water conditions. 

I’ve spent over nine years as a prior competitive swimmer growing up on the Eastside of Seattle. I graduated from the University of Washington where I did my honors thesis researching NCAA swimmers. I love swimming and have spent over two years working and teaching kids how to swim. My aim is to help train children of all ages and get them to their goal whether that be water safety or joining swim team!
