Dea is a proud graduate of USC's Marshall School of Business. After completing her degree, she worked for many years in the Marketing and Advertising field before taking time to be a full-time mom and homeschool teacher. Dea has been a willing Nadadores parent volunteer since her daughter began swimming in the Nadadores summer leagues in 2011. She had previously been our SMOC Housing Coordinator, coordinating housing for visiting athletes among our team families. Dea made the leap to work in the office in 2019 and handles all membership calls and business operations for the club, as well as overseeing the direction of the Swim School.

Dea has two children, including one college swimmer, and continues to host athletes year-around in her home with her husband of 21 years.
