Summary

I am a dedicated and proficient swim teacher with experience engaging individuals of different skills and ability levels. As a strong leaner, I am able to adapt and overcome different challenge and provide effective solutions. I thoroughly enjoy swim teaching, especially pre-squad level where my experience as a competitive swimmer strengthens my ability as a teacher.
