What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Lifeguard role where I can protect swimmers with strong safety enforcement, calm emergency response, and clear communication—while also supporting swim training and positive facility operations in a reputable team.

I’m a dedicated lifeguard and swimming professional with 7+ years of experience maintaining a safe environment for swimmers and communicating effectively with other lifeguards and staff. I’m drawn to roles where pool safety, calm emergency response, and clear communication directly protect lives.

In my current position as a MWR Technician-Lifeguard, I supervise swimmers and enforce pool safety rules to prevent accidents and injuries. I perform water rescues, provide first aid and CPR, monitor pool conditions, maintain a safe and welcoming environment, and conduct regular safety inspections of lifesaving equipment and pool facilities.

As a Swimming Instructor at Buzzkid Swim School, I develop training programs tailored to different skill levels and improve technique, endurance, speed, and overall performance. I focus on health and safety, teach strokes and fundamentals (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly), and help swimmers set realistic goals while staying motivated and disciplined.

My coaching experience expands my impact beyond the lifeguard chair—I’ve trained teams at Riara Springs Academy and delivered structured instruction for children and youth at venues like Castle Sports and Events, Gigiri Montessori School, St. Peters School Juja, and Kasarani Aquatic Arena. With certifications including Lifeguard Pro recertification, YMCA lifeguarding, first aid, and ICDL, I bring both practical safety readiness and strong planning, communication, and organization to every program.
