Summary

Dynamic and self-motivated coach with strong leadership skills, I have over 15 years of experience coaching gymnastics and designing training programs, After university, I coached part-time while running my own businesses in other fields that required a lot of time and travel. I moved to Hong Kong 11 years ago, have two children, and now run a home-based business that gives me the flexibility to return to coaching. A close friend and former elite gymnast who worked with USA Gymnastics encouraged me to reach out after learning you’re looking for coaches in Hong Kong.
