MG grew up surfing the beach breaks along Florida’s Gulf Coast, where inconsistent waves and shifting sandbars taught her to tune into forecasts and local knowledge. She started out body surfing, boogie boarding, and riding her father’s old single fin, building her skills through experience and observation.

After spending years working at her cousin’s surf shop, she gained deeper insight into the surf industry—helping with day-to-day operations and teaching at summer surf camps.

Now based in Rockaway Beach, NY, MG teaches that progress in surfing comes through patience, perseverance, and a strong connection to the ocean. Her approach focuses on breath awareness and techniques that help students stay calm and relaxed in both body and mind. With years of industry experience and mentorship from seasoned surfers, MG brings a thoughtful and supportive style to each lesson.
