What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead swim instruction and water safety, coach a team, and manage day-to-day operations with a patient-care mindset. I want to grow programs, strengthen customer experience, and keep safety and compliance central.

I’m a versatile aquatics professional and trainer with leadership experience as a business owner, aquatics manager, and staff coach. I specialize in swim instruction and water safety instruction for all ages, with a strong foundation in biology and patient care.

As the owner of House of Mermaids, I provide infant safety rescue and endurance training, deliver one-on-one and group coaching, and expand services for broader client needs, including military and adult endurance training. I’ve also managed aquatics operations—pool maintenance, lifeguard supervision, swim lessons, camp activities, scheduling, and front desk—while supporting clinical workflows during OB/GYN pre-medical preparation and contributing to safe, compliant lab operations in cannabis extraction.
