General Diving Biography
Soon after my open water class in the summer of 2001, diving quickly became a way of life for me. It has provided hours upon hours of joy and excitement over the past several years. I enjoy all facets of diving ranging from recreational to highly technical dive experiences. The majority of my dives have been in Seattle and/or the Pacific Northwest, which was my home for the first 10 years of my diving career and is now once again my home. I recently lived in SE Asia, which opened a gateway to all manner of new diving, including Indonesia, Thailand, Sipadan, Tioman, the wrecks of the South China Sea, and the Philippines. I had the great fortune to dive the many wrecks of Truk Lagoon in 2013 and it was an incredible experience! Video samples from those trips can be found on the Seainggreen Vimeo feed.
Previous travels have taken me to such locales as Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Chuuk Lagoon, Fiji, Monterrey, the Red Sea, the Channel Islands, St. Lucia, Florida, Bonaire, the western coast of BC, all over Vancouver Island, and Grand Cayman, among other places. In July 2011, I became the second woman to successfully dive the SS Governor, an enormously challenging and deep shipwreck located 240 feet deep in the cold dark waters of Admiralty Inlet. I also make regular pilgrimages to the caves of Quintana Roo, Mexico for cave diving, filming and exploration. Cave diving is a definite passion of mine and I have done an extensive amount of survey work, camera work, and exploration with some very talented divers in Mexico.
When I'm not diving, I am a professional educator, which has been a wonderful career path that I've enjoyed immensely. I consider myself very fortunate to have two areas of passion that intersect! By shooting video that highlights our beautiful underwater world and collaborating with documentary producers, I'm able to blend my love of teaching with my love of diving. I look forward to helping you and your viewers discover our beautiful world that lies beneath the ocean's surface.
