As a current commissioner, I proactivly bringing ideas and concerns and work to overcome the challenges of keeping up with community demand. I participate on the public outreach committee to improve pool access for All Des Moines residents and the greater aquatic community. I am working to expand the lesson program toward a long-term goal of seeing every local child have acess to lessons.

I have been a part of the aquatics community my entire life; Swim lesson instructor, swim team, lifeguard, collegiate swimmer, summer and club coach, club board member and summer club president.

I plan to continue working toward a pool future where all kids are learning to swim and MRP serves the full aquatic needs of the swim community. We want a pool that works for our entire local aquatics community so that all individuals can enjoy the recreational opportunities that come with knowing how to swim.
