Experience: 

As a child, Taeya competed in gymnastics before exploring other sports. In 2012, she began coaching at Apple Valley Gymnastics while studying Sports Fitness, Nutrition, and Anatomical Kinesiology at Wenatchee Valley College. She obtained her certification through NASM as a personal trainer, as well as a 200-hour Hatha Yoga instructor from Yoga Alliance. After teaching fitness classes, she resumed coaching gymnastics in 2019, adding Xcel coaching in 2021. Taeya's coaching approach focuses on maximizing children's potential while ensuring they enjoy themselves.

Favorite Activity: Snowboarding and Paddleboarding

Favorite Skill or Event:  I just love teaching body strength and mechanics, so there's not an event that I prefer over the other, more so just teaching the "how" of each skill and event.

Favorite Food: Desserts! I love sweets!

Advice for Students: You're stronger than that tired voice in your head that says you are, prove it wrong!
