Prior to teaching aquatic survival, I was the Director of Finance and Accounting for a small family-owned company in Baton Rouge.  My undergraduate studies were in Communications (Advertising) and Spanish.  I have an MBA from Loyola University. 

I became an ISR instructor after a friend sent me a video ad for ISR.  That video changed my life.  At that moment, I knew what I was called to do.  I sent the video to my friends and family to garner support for my new found career choice.  I did research to see if there were any similar programs in my area.  I quickly learned that ISR was the only program that focused on survival techniques and saving children’s lives.  I was shocked to learn that there were no ISR certified instructors in my area.

I am excited to have found a career that has brought me enjoyment and satisfaction.  I became an ISR instructor because I adore children and do not want to ever hear a report of a child drowning knowing I could have done something to stop such a tragedy.  My love for children and my love for water have drawn me closer to both.  I am a NAUI certified diver and spend time every year exploring different dive locations.
