William Russell

I have a strong background in aquatic safety and emergency response because of personal experiences in Scouting, competitive swimming, and lifeguarding. My current focus is attaining a degree in Applied Health Sciences. Following my undergraduate degree, I will continue my education at Messiah University's Physical Therapy school. After my education, my career goals are to attain experience in aquatic rehabilitative therapy and to work with special needs children and adults.
