PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor - Scuba Diving since 2014

Hi Everyone!
I am originally from Canal Fulton, Ohio, and have now found my way to Key Largo to continue my dive journey. My diving journey began in 2013 when my family took a trip to Jamaica, where I got my Open Water certification. Once I started, I got hooked. Since I started, I have been diving at various Caribbean destinations in addition to the Florida Keys and Ohio. I am certified at different levels through PADI, SDI, and TDI, and completed my instructor training in Spring of 2024. I am beyond excited to be here at Rainbow Reef and have the opportunity to connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds. If you see me around say hey!
A little more about me-
I attended Miami University of Ohio where I graduated in 2022 with a bachelor of science in marketing, and a minor in Spanish. I also spent time in the Netherlands studying international business and Dutch.
