Meet The State Committee

Was a gymnast when…Rosin was your best-beam friend, tape grips were a necessity and zippered leotards with fancy lacy or acrylic paint were in vogue. Coach when we learned compulsory routines on a hard wooded basket ball court in 102 degree weather!… Dominque was our GOAT and the horse was used for vaulting.

Judge…. Unofficially during college, the code of points was green and was about 5 inches by 8 inches and could fit in your purse, there were superior and medium elements ….. National judge currently since 2001 have judged Regionals and National competitions. Nickname Lolli (aka Grand mom)… Lolli to 5  beautiful grand children with another on the way!

I have been part of the Maryland Gymnastics community for  32 years, and have loved every second of it.  Being a coach, choreographer, and judge helped me see this sport from many different perspectives.  The most rewarding experience for me is to see a gymnast succeed not only as an athlete, but as an individual.  My background is rhythmic gymnastics and classical dance, which I love to keep up with by joining master classes with various dance companies. 

This is my first year joining the committee and I am excited to work with this amazing team of judges 

Level 10 judge with 26 years ‘experience.  She was recently appointed as the CPE Coordinator in August of 2023.  Prior to that, she served as the Financial Reviewer from 2021-2023.  Carol has a keen interest in promoting ongoing professional development of Maryland judges so that athletes and the sport of gymnastics continues to improve.  Carol retired from the Federal government with 42 years of service and recently retired after 10 years as a Unit Coordinator in an Intensive Care Unit at a local hospital.  She enjoys dog walking, audiobooks and spending time with her husband and family, especially her three grandchildren. Carol’s happy place is judging gymnastics and seeing the pride on a coach’s face when a gymnast successfully performs their routine, ends with a smile and remembers to salute the judge!

I have been involved in gymnastics in multiple aspects for over 30 years. I have been a competitive gymnast, coach and judge. I have held a judges rating for 22 years including National rating since 2018. I followed in my mother’s footsteps who is also a gymnastics judge and gave me a code of points for my 16th birthday. I previously served as a member on the Maryland NAWGJ board for two terms from 2019- 2023. When I am not judging gymnastics I teach Kindergarten in Montgomery County and am mom to two boys ages 1 and 4.
