OAA has become a second home to me! The environment has allowed me to accomplish so much as an athlete in 1.5 years. Participating in acrobatics has been a transformative experience, which has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally.

My favorite part about coaching is witnessing the moment when a child achieves something they’ve been working towards. Seeing them get a new skill or overcome a challenge makes coaching fulfilling. I also enjoy seeing children get to know each other and simply have fun, even if it’s doing something unrelated to gymnastics.

I started my gymnastics journey in 2021 when I joined cheerleading at university and was inspired to learn tumbling. My journey with OAA began a year ago, and I started coaching in late 2022.

Tumbling is my favorite event at the gym. Getting skills for competition is what keeps me motivated.

My coaching superpower is my ability to adapt to the different personalities and needs of each child. I think it’s important that all children feel supported regardless of the different goals they may have at the gym.
