About Jiea

Hello, As a mom to a healthy, happy, Fire Fighter and cattle dog, I love to explore the outdoors and equip kids with confidence-building skills that allow for discovering their environment along with their own likes, dislikes and sense of self. As a collegiate swimmer, ultra-runner and triathlete, I know the benefits of hard work, but also recognize the importance of rest and play. My job as a swim instructor was my favorite because it empowered kids to learn something new and overcome their fears. I value safety, health and happiness and feel that conflict resolution and adaptability are the key to getting along. Infants, toddlers, elementary, middle and high school are all my favorites because before you know it, they are gone... all grown up. I cherished every moment with my son and made as many amazing memories with him as possible and will do the same for any child. I am CPR and WFA (Wilderness First Aid) certified and volunteer with Bridging Bionics.
