About Me
I'm a lifeguard at AquaSmile with experience across lifeguarding, swim instruction, deck supervision, and dive coaching. Water safety, clear communication, and teamwork are central to my approach.
During my time at Lakeland Hills YMCA, I taught swim lessons for ages 3-17, worked with special needs students, supervised aquatic facility operations, and developed scheduling and lesson systems. As head dive coach for Mountain Lakes Borough in summer 2026, I worked with two assistant dive coaches to plan and run the program and help lead our team to a championship win.
Across these roles, I've communicated with parents, team members, and lifeguards and helped create safe, engaging environments for swimmers of all abilities.
