My daughter Lauren started Flight Deck back in 2019. She competed in gymnastics up through level 8. I have 3 children, a bachelor's degree in elementary education & pharmacy. I too competed in level 8 gymnastics as a child & I love being able to offer the opportunity to kids in the area some place to go and learn new skills.

I have been employed with FDG for over a year. I was born and raise in Mercer County, and have lived here my entire life. I am married to my amazing husband Blake, and have a blended family of 7 children: 2 girls and 5 boys. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, and just being outdoors. I love working at the gym because it feels like my second family! I enjoy seeing all the kiddos come in each day, smiling and ready to learn new skills!

Emma
I have been a part of the FDG staff since August of 2025. I am a preschool instructor & manager's assistant. I was a cheerleader in high school and currently studying Elementary Education. Working with preschoolers allows me to combine my love for teaching, creativity, and high energy fun every day! My favorite thing is to listen to music, dance, and sing. The best part of coaching is seeing their excitement as they learn new skills, have fun, and grow in confidence, strength, & independence.

I have danced since the age of 3 with 12 years in competitive dance. After graduating high school and dancing for Kings Island, I became a dance teacher/tumbling coach for 18 years. I have 4 daughters and absolutely love being a girl mom! My favorite aspect of coaching is building confidence and seeing the students shine with their skills.

I’ve been a part of Flight Deck for a huge part of my life starting as a competitive gymnast and now as a coach. I have over 10 years of experience in gymnastics, but after tearing my ACL, I had to step away from competing. Coaching has become my absolute favorite! I love watching the girls grow not only as gymnasts, but also as confident individuals. I’m so thankful to be part of the Flight Deck family and to work with such an amazing group of athletes and staff.

I am also pursuing a career in Cosmetology.

I’m a proud wife, mom, educator, and coach who loves working with kids and families. At FDG, I focus on creating a welcoming experience through customer service, planning inclusive opportunities for athletes with special needs, and organizing fun events for our gym community. With my background in special education, I’m passionate about making sure every child feels seen, supported, and celebrated. Outside of the gym, I coach youth soccer and enjoy staying active and involved in sports. Helping kids build confidence and feel like they belong is at the heart of everything I do.
