While I joined my local Wave Swim club more than 8 years back as a way to hang out with friends, I quickly realized that swimming was much more than just a social pastime. I began to appreciate the valuable skills such as perseverance and hard work that came with swimming, but most importantly, the personal fulfillment of constantly striving to become a faster and better swimmer. I continue to pursue swimming on the competitive level as I participate in my school's varsity swim team, and hope that as a swim instructor, I will be able to kindle the same passion for swimming in my students.

Growing up with a swimming pool in my backyard, I grew accustomed to being in the water from a young age. When I turned 11, I started the competitive swim, and have loved it ever since. Through swim, I learned many important life skills, such as the reward of hard work, the beauty of a team, and the most important one, how to swim. I’m very excited to be able to pass on these skills!

I learned how to swim on my own when I was two years old, and have loved it ever since. I joined the local summer swim team and swam on the High school team as well. Other than swim, I am a whitewater kayaker, which means I spend a good amount of time swimming through chaotic rivers and rapids. My favorite stroke is breaststroke, and because I am a triathlete, and spend quite a bit of open swimming across lakes, and long distance breaststroke tends to be the strok I use the most. I love spending time with kids and am excited to get to know everyone and work on their swim ability. I am excited to form relationships and teach my students a new skill.
