Hometown – East Peoria, IL

About me – I am too old..Old School Gymnast...Gymnastics is my passion. I finally opened up my own gym and I love it. On a team called MGA in Morton, IL from age 11 to 18. Taught at that gym, was a demonstrator, and competed for years. Went to Nationals when I was 17 in Tempe, AZ Placed 13th, had a blast and went on from there coaching and teaching. I have 4 horses, love riding as well. I think gymnastics and horseback riding go hand in hand. You have to have good balance to do both. I am a mother of 2 and a grandmother of one. Love kids!!! I have a great bunch of kids at my gym! I am so proud of them.

Dream job – I am living it!!! I love being a Gymnastic Coach!!
