into diving with programs at Nassau Aquatic Center and Suffolk Community College.
She is considered to be one of the state's better dive coaches. Under her tutelage,
many divers have gone onto national, regional, state, and area championships.
At one of the H.S. state meets, five of the top 16 divers were coached by her. |
