My passion for Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) began 11 years ago when my son, Kooper, who has Spina Bifida, learned his ISR self-rescue skills. Watching him gain the ability, confidence, and skills to help himself in the water made a lasting impact on me. Years later, when my youngest daughter, BaLynn, completed her ISR skills, that passion came full circle—and I knew I wanted to help provide these same lifesaving skills to other children and families.
I recently completed the intensive ISR Instructor Training program in Massachusetts, and I am incredibly proud and excited to begin this journey as a Certified ISR Instructor. I am passionate about teaching babies and young children lifesaving self-rescue skills while providing a caring, encouraging, and supportive environment for every child and family I work with.
My background is in healthcare leadership, where caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do. Becoming an ISR Instructor allows me to combine my love for children, my passion for helping others, and my commitment to water safety in a truly meaningful way.
Outside of the pool, my greatest joy is being a wife and a mom to my four children—KaSarah, Casey, Kooper, and BaLynn. When I’m not teaching, you can usually find me crafting, spending time with my farm animals, enjoying time with my family, or serving at my church.
I am beyond thrilled to serve our community and help give babies and young children skills that can truly save their lives. For me, ISR is more than swimming lessons—it’s a mission, and I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of it.
