Tally grew up in Key Largo, Florida, where scuba diving and snorkeling were her absolute favorite activities! She has been in the ocean since she was 10 months old and absolutely loves everything about the water. She also grew up across the street from the Key Largo Ocean First! When she moved out to Boulder to pursue a business degree at CU, she missed the ocean and the water, so when she saw the Ocean First sign, she knew she would find a loving and fun community. Tally's favorite thing about teaching is being a friend and a role model for the kids. When Tally isn't in the water or talking about the water, you can find her country line dancing or crafting somewhere!
