Bio:I’ve been jumping rope since around 1st or 2nd grade. It’s been so long I can’t even remember initially jump rope was a club I was interesting in joining at Bay Harbor Elementary. But through that club came a love for a sport I’ve never had before. My highest achievement level was making stage for double Dutch pairs at the USA National Competition. Previously I jump roped because I loved keeping active, traveling, and learning all about the sport. But now I see the importance of spreading my love of the sport, so I’m teaching young children in the central Florida area about it. Jump rope has taught me a lot of life lessons. Things like discipline, the importance of setting a goal for yourself, practice makes perfect, never settling for less than your best, the importance of team work, and the healthy lifestyle I need to live. Currently I’m trying to spread my knowledge of the sport to youth but one day I would love to be one of those old jumpers that compete without a team and are in great shape while my son/daughter is competing alongside me.
