As a lifeguard/swim instructor at the City of Surrey, I ensure the safety and enjoyment of patrons at the pool. I am trained in the PIVOT system allowing full coverage of the pool deck, viewing area and the headguard room. My experience as a lifeguard taught me how to work with pool chemicals, communicate with other lifeguards to coordinate life-saving practices, and create lesson plans that follow the Swim for Life curriculum.Alongside my lifeguarding and teaching duties, I am pursuing a bachelor of applied science degree in mechatronics, robotics, and automation engineering at Simon Fraser University. I am passionate about learning and applying the principles of design, programming, and control of machines and systems. I have developed skills in communication, problem solving, teamwork, and leadership through my academic and extracurricular activities, such as being the director of human resources at the Vancouver Kindness Movement, a non-profit organization that promotes kindness and volunteerism.
