I am originally from Mariano Roque Alonso, Paraguay.  I grew up in Madisonville, Kentucky.  I began swimming at age 3 and after winning a State Championship and setting 5 state records - I was hooked!  I swam for Madisonville North Hopkins High School in Kentucky as a middle schooler and for McCallie where I was a four-year boarding student.  I am currently a sophomore at Lee University studying Spanish and still uncertain of a major.  I swam for the Tidal Waves in the summer of 2011 and am honored and thrilled to be on the other side as an Assistant Coach.  I can't wait to see what this summer holds and feel truly blessed and excited to be a part of the 2012 Tidal Waves Swim Team!!
