  PADI IDC Staff Instructor - Scuba Diving since 2016

  I began diving in 2016 after graduating with a degree in Marine Biology from the College of Charleston. Since then, every day has been spent close to the sea. I completed my Dive Master in 2018 and became an OWSI later that year. Most of my diving career has been spent in Fiji, where I worked on a marine conservation base studying the local coral reefs and teaching volunteers how to dive.

  While diving is always my #1 choice of how to spend my time, I also like to freedive, hike, cook (and eat), travel, go to concerts, and play with dogs - so if we ever meet, please come well prepared with plenty of dog photos!
