Amiya Stafford-Gardenhire

At French Swim School, I excelled as a Swim Instructor, blending customer service with adaptability to elevate student performance and safety. My creative teaching strategies and empathetic approach significantly boosted swimmer confidence and skill levels, while my rigorous adherence to safety protocols ensured a secure learning environment. I developed skills in a fast-paced, aquatic instructional environment. I have demonstrated aptitude in teaching, communication, and fostering a safe and supportive atmosphere. I am seeking to transition these skills to a new field where they can be effectively utilized.
