Meet the gzg Team

Trampoline & Tumbling Team, 

and Recreational Gymnastics
I started gymnastics at Dimensions when I was 18 months old and got invited to the competitive team at age 4. I switched from artistic gymnastics to Trampoline and Tumbling after a particularly bad injury and went on to win National titles in both Trampoline and Double Mini. I have been Coaching Gymnastics for nine years. My favorite color is pink. I'm obsessed with sea turtles, and I can't live without Cheesecake. I have serious dislikes for dishonesty and snakes. GZG is my home and holds a special place in my heart; I have grown up here and have gymnastics in my blood. I love watching young athletes learn and grow in this sport as I did.
