I began my tenure at TumbleBees as an assistant coach in 2000 but it wasn’t long before I built up a competitive team and became Head Coach and Team Manager. In 2011, I partnered up with Andi and became co-owner of TumbleBees Gymnastics! I am a qualified USA Gymnastics Judge since 2011 and safety certified under the USA Gymnastics league. As a child, I was introduced to gymnastics at the age of 7 and continued as a competitive gymnast under the USA Gymnastics league until 1999. In 2002, I was the All-American cheer champion, and co-captain of the FIU Cheerleading Squad in 2006. I judge annually for the Ms. Fitness Universe Competition, and enjoy CrossFit as an alternative method to staying in shape. Lastly, I graduated in 2010 with my Doctoral degree in Physical Therapy and enjoy treating orthopedic injuries as a PT for Select Medical.
