Hi. I’m Coach Erin, the Owner-n-Director of Stretch-n-Grow in the greater Omaha area. I have worked with Stretch-n-Grow for over two years as an instructor before becoming the Owner-n-Director in 2007. I’ve worked with children in various fitness settings including recreational sports, summer camps and youth volleyball.
I earned my Masters of Arts degree in Health, Physical Education and Recreation from the University of Nebraska Omaha. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Education with an emphasis in Sports Management from The University of Kansas.
