Summary

I have recently stopped swimming competitively, which I have dedicated most of my life to. I have been lucky enough to compete at State, National, and International levels. I'm currently transitioning into the next chapter of my life, and I'm excited to pick up work hours and discover new activities I enjoy along the way.


During year 11 in high school, I was a peer support leader to new high school students. In the same year, I was Vice House Captain, leading to being House Captain the year after in year 12. I learned leadership skills during this time, which translated into my future jobs, where I taught new teachers the swim school program, then new lifeguards the lifeguard duties.
