Kelly will be entering her 20th year on the Willowbrook Swim and Dive Team in 2022. With three children of her own who have all been members of the Willowbrook Swim and Diving Team, Kelly is a fixture at the pool.

She has served as the Vice President, is currently the Treasurer, and has been on the Board of Directors of Willowbrook for 19 years.

Kelly is dedicated to swimmers of all levels and abilities. She believes that swimming is an important skill for children and adults of all ages, and that it is never too late to learn. Regardless of whether your child is a novice or hopes to swim at the highest level, Kelly will provide the support and guidance that they need to succeed and to meet their goals.
