I recently graduated from California State University, Northridge, with a bachelors degree in Kinesiology, where I was also a student athlete on the womens beach volleyball team.

Hi! I am currently a student at UCI, graduating soon! I was a competitive swimmer as a kid. In high school, I was a competitive diver and worked as a lifeguard and youth sports coach, spending a majority of my working time teaching swim lessons for kids, babies, and some adults. I am adaptable and able to teach all swim levels. I can teach all the swim strokes and techniques to improve form and speed in the water, and I can also help those who are newer to the water become more comfortable by teaching basic skills and techniques to move around safely. Safety and technique are very important in the water, but so is fun! Associating trust and fun with swim lessons allows, especially for younger kids, the space to excel quickly.
