Debra started her aquatics journey at the age of eight on the Fullerton Aquatics Sports Team (FAST) in California. She loved swimming, as it gave her a competitive outlet through high school and college, and a tight-knit social circle. That community followed her through most of her life as she taught at her sister’s swim school, lifeguarded for private parties, and coached on the very team she grew up swimming for, leading her ten and under group of kids to Junior Olympics in 2012 where three of them placed in the top ten.
Seeking adventure and an opportunity to explore outside her home state, Debra joined the SAC Team at the beginning of summer 2022 as a Swim Instructor, meeting members and networking at the Front Desk before moving into Membership that fall. In the autumn of 2024, she set her sights on transitioning more fully into the Aquatics Department as Director, to offer a launching pad for program development and social activities. With a focus on Communications (Fullerton College) and special interests in Health and Fitness, she looks forward to working together!
Outside of the pool, you might find Debra out in nature hiking with her two dogs, Zaya & Brinley, at music festivals with friends, or at home crafting or working with needle point.
