She then moved on to Louisiana State University in the same roles from 2004-08.

“My personal philosophy blends perfectly with the mission, vision and values of Riptide Swim Team. It is my mission to provide a safe, positive and dynamic culture that promotes inclusivity and celebrates participation and excellence through sport. By fostering growth through long term athlete development, it is my goal to assist Coach Koschmann and her coaching staff in continuing to build programming for all levels from learn to swim to high performance competitive swimming.”
As a competitive swimmer, she was an NCAA All-American at Florida State and was the Seminoles’ MVP for the 1996-97 and 1998-99 seasons.
