ABOUT

​Hi, I’m Anna—mermaid, mom, and ocean lover!
​As a PADI Mermaid Instructor with Patriot Diving in Occoquan, VA, I guide students of all ages in discovering the magic of mermaiding in a fun and supportive environment. With my Emergency First Response (EFR) certification, I prioritize water safety, ensuring every mermaid-in-training feels confident and secure in the water.
My love for movement started early with a background in dance and education, which now helps me teach fluidity, grace, and confidence in the water. Whether it's guiding new mermaids through their first dolphin kick or helping experienced swimmers perfect their technique, I love watching people light up when they realize what they’re capable of!Beyond teaching, I bring mermaid dreams to life through Luna Mermaid Entertainment, performing at parties and events to create unforgettable experiences for kids and adults alike. I also design and sell mermaid- and ocean-inspired t-shirts and other items, allowing people to carry a little bit of magic with them wherever they go.
When I’m not swimming in a tail, I’m a military wife and a mom to two amazing girls who keep my life full of adventure. The ocean has always been my happy place, and I’m passionate about sharing its magic while encouraging ocean conservation and water safety.
Whether you’re looking to take a mermaid course, book an enchanting event, or grab some ocean-inspired gear, I’d love to help you make a splash!
