Eileen became interested in scuba while teaching swimming at a local dive shop. She took her love of diving from Open Water to Dive Master, enjoying the best of diving off the NJ coast and in the Caribbean. Her education and career led her on a path to being a Certified Athletic Trainer, Physical Therapy Assistant, and teacher. Finding Handicapped SCUBA Association NJ was the key to combining her vocation with her avocation. She now volunteers with clients and students using diving as rehabilitation and working to promote access to certification for all abilities.
