Sumter County Parks and Recreation Department

"I am originally from Hendersonville, TN which is located outside of Nashville. I graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education with a minor in nutrition, and obtained the ACSM personal trainer certification. I have been involved with the sport of gymnastics since I was 8 years old and have been coaching since I was 15 years old. Gymnastics has become my passion. I ran my own program for the past two years at a YMCA and am excited to bring my past experiences to Sumter County to develop a new program for the children who might not have been able to experience gymnastic s until now. I look forward to the opportunity to introduce competitive gymnastics to these children.

I enjoy working here because I love the sport of gymnastics and working with children. I have been welcomed into town with open arms and really appreciate all the people I am working with and who trust me to coach their children. This is a position I have wanted since I was 15 and I am so pleased that this is where I have landed.
