I was born in Canada, and attended a french immersion elementary school for eight years, and am continuing to study french throughout high school. I have a passion for water and water safety; I began swimming lessons at 6 months old and have since acquired the National Lifeguard (NL) and Lifesaving and Swimming Instructors courses. I am also a PADI-certified open-water scuba diver. I speak fluent french and limited Spanish and would be able to aid in a language barrier situation. I look forward to being able to deploy the skills that I have acquired and learn new ones as a productive member of your staff.
