1. I'm a swim instructor (WSI, adaptive and soon to be ISR certifications), lifeguard, assistant coach and owner of mobile business. 2. My biggest sticking point is how to deliver a variety of services to rural communities, as well as, promoting effective aquatic operations for remodeled/restructured existing community pools. At this point, I see myself more as a facilitator rather than an aquatics manager. My hope is for communities to develop robust facilities and value what they do have. 3. I can help others with strategies/techniques to develop swim skills and water safety skills through traditional and adaptive swim lessons. I can help "navigate the waters" through building a part time business while maintaining a full time career (I was a swim instructor, growing a mobile swim lesson business for 12yrs before retiring as a special education teacher in 2024.)
