I am a Life Long Divemaster closing on 10 years in multiple facets of the business including Guiding, Dive support Supervisor for documentary/TV productions, management, and Guest Liason for large groups in remote areas.

My “past life” was as a Marketing/Sales/Distributor Liaison for a Vodka company started by a hip hop artist back in the early 2K when the trend for Hip Hop Artists becoming Moguls in many facets of Merchandising began.

It was a whirl wind of fun and excitement but I knew, after spending my undergrad years overseas in Surfers Paradise, Australia before becoming “corporate”, that I wanted a life on or in the water.

I retired early from the fast paced life and moved to Costa Rica where I surfed, sun bathed, and sold real estate. I soon became best mates with a Dive Center owner and became a professional Diver. Costa Rica is where I met my Scuba Instructor husband and started my travels that ended us in Africa, married and with a our son.

We moved closer to the states working in the dive industry of Mexico for a couple of years and now Hawaii. I am the Customer Service and Marketing Manager For Island Divers Hawaii. I get to combine what I am good at, marketing, and my passion, diving!
