Hi! I’m coach Andrea and this will be my first year of coaching for Towne Lake Wake. I’m super excited to get back into swimming! I swam for three years at the University of Nebraska at Kearney and then moved down to Houston to finish my teaching degree. I am currently teaching kindergarten in Tomball ISD. When I’m not teaching I’ll be reading, baking, planning a hiking trip or watching a sports game. I can’t wait to meet all the swimmers and coach the sport I love ❤️
