eMarketing Executive, PADI Americas
I love to be outdoors—running, hiking, swimming, boating and diving of course. I’m a red-wine fanatic and salsa music lover! My son is a toddler, which means lately many of my adventures are chasing him around the playground. But, I still get my scuba fix every once and a while!
When I was ten years old, I took the PADI Open Water course with my dad. We have some great memories traveling and diving together. Eventually I took more PADI courses (Divemaster) and some how it led to a career in the scuba industry.
I don’t get my tank on as much as I used to, but I love that my job allows me to connect with other divers like you and share the experience. I can’t wait til my little boy and I can dive together when he's a few years older!
