I stepped into a pool for my first swim lesson when I was 5.
After that, I never really left the water.

By 10, I was competing. By 16, I was certified. And somewhere along the way, teaching became just as much a passion as swimming itself.

I trained and competed at a national and international level until I was 21 — and during that time I started building the credentials that would eventually shape the way I teach. I earned my Pool & Open Water Lifeguard Certificate at 16 and my first certification as a UISP Swim Instructor at 18. In 2017, I became a certified Swim Instructor and Competitive Swim Team Coach with the Italian Swimming Federation (FIN) — one of the most respected aquatics federations in the world.

After moving to the United States, I kept teaching and coaching across the country before settling in Nashville, Tennessee in 2021. Since then, I've been proud to call this community home — and I've spent the last four years building relationships with swimmers and families throughout Nashville, Mt. Juliet, Madison, Whites Creek, and beyond.

In total, I've taught lessons in more than 10 pools across two countries and coached four competitive teams. And I still love every minute of it.

What that means for you:

All of that experience adds up to one thing: a lesson designed specifically for you. Whether your child is nervous about putting their face in the water for the first time, or you're an adult who has always wanted to learn but never had the right person in your corner — I know how to meet you where you are and get you where you want to go.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all curricula. I believe in watching how you move, listening to what you need, and adjusting on the fly. That's what 15+ years in the water teaches you.
