What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my coaching and management skills while fostering a positive and engaging environment.

I am a passionate swim instructor and coach with extensive experience in teaching and managing aquatic programs. Currently, I serve as the Head Lifeguard and part of a management team at the City of Mesa, where I oversee a staff of 45, ensuring they are rescue-ready and providing excellent service to the community. My leadership skills were recognized when I won the Instructor of the Year award in 2023, reflecting my commitment to excellence in teaching and coaching.

Throughout my career, I have developed lesson plans tailored to various skill levels, ranging from ages 2-12. My experience includes coaching water polo teams, where I created practice plans and facilitated games, fostering teamwork and sportsmanship among young athletes. I also work as a Social Media Coordinator for Meg Behrens Design, where I create engaging content for various platforms, showcasing my versatility and creativity in both sports and media.
