Kathy has always loved and been intrigued by the ocean, all from the first time she was "bitten" by a starfish at the age of 6. She has since learned that starfish can not bite people. Kathy loves learning about the behavior of creatures in the ocean and enjoys sharing that knowledge while teaching or leading trips.  Kathy joined the retail team in January of 1998 and became an instructor in 1999 and began leading store trips.  During the summer of 2024 she transitioned from her role as Retail Manager & Buyer to Travel Coordinator where she is excited to continue to expand her knowledge while continuing to support other areas of the business.  She still enjoys working with the local Public Safety Dive teams to secure the gear they need to keep us all safe!
