aka The Little Brr-Maid

I started swimming before I could walk, and scuba diving at age 11. 20 years later I’m still obsessed and excited to share the beauty of the underwater world with all of you.

When I’m not scuba diving (or working my day job) I’m upcycling thingamabobs into sculptures and art pieces. Occasionally I spend a day on land running, stargazing… sometimes modeling!
