Message

At Monroe County YMCA, I manage a team of lifeguards, swim instructors, and coaches. I oversee employee lifecycle management in ADP and keep certifications, training, and compliance current.

I plan and lead monthly in-service training focused on safety and skill development, and support continuous improvement of aquatics programs. I also work with the Aquatics Director on program development and use performance and participant feedback to identify opportunities to improve quality and retention.

At Owen County Family YMCA, I created swim lesson plans for swimmers’ ages and skill levels and scheduled lifeguard certification and recertification training to American Red Cross standards. Earlier, I worked in technical recruiting at AnchorPoint TR and as an HR Generalist/Office Manager at Seven Hills Anesthesia.
