    I love the camaraderie and community that this tour has created.

Year over year, we have seen the NWPA expand its reach with sold-out stops, new venue partnerships, and increased membership.

    Year joining NWPA board: 2020

    What she loves about the NWPA:
    The NWPA has a consistent presence in the pool community. Since the start of my pool journey, one of my goals was to become a member and participate in the tour stops.

    As time progressed, I befriended and/or got acquainted with many amazing women who are part of the tour. The diverse group of ladies lead equally diverse lives. I am constantly inspired. With that, I am honored to be a part of the NWPA board.

    Cheers to the future!
