Ever since I was little, I have loved the water and working with children. At Burroughs High School, I was the Goalie for the Water Polo Team during my Freshman and Sophomore years. I was the Defensive Player of the year two years in a row. I was also on the Rosebowl Water Polo Team in Pasadena. This past summer, I worked as a lifeguard for the City of Burbank at the Verdugo and McCambridge Pools. Working for the Verdugo and Mc Cambridge has inspired me to mover further in my skills as a Lifeguard. I also love working with children and that is why I want to become a swim instructor and move forward with my passion.
