Summary

As a swim instructor, I honed my ability to effectively communicate with diverse groups, adapting teaching methods to individual needs, and ensuring a positive learning experience. This experience has equipped me with the patience, empathy, and problem-solving abilities crucial for working with children. I am currently a senior in high school graduating in June. I am going into college as an education major and I am seeking an opportunity to expand my knowledge and experience.
