As a key contributor to the University of Ottawa Varsity Swim Team's recruitment efforts, I help organize and coordinate the team’s recruit weekend, ensuring a seamless and welcoming experience for prospective swimmers. I maintain regular communication with recruits, answering their questions and providing guidance throughout the process. Acting as a liaison between coaches and potential team members, I help facilitate clear and effective communication. Additionally, I have collaborated with the Fédération de Natation de Québec on promotional and recruiting events, supporting the team’s outreach efforts and talent acquisition. This role has strengthened my organizational and interpersonal skills while fostering connections within the swimming community.

I work closely with Adidas representatives to stay updated on the latest styles, cuts, and offerings, ensuring our team receives high-quality and well-suited gear. I design and circulate sizing forms to gather information from the team and take the lead in organizing and distributing the apparel once it arrives. This often involves problem-solving to ensure everyone receives the best possible fit. Through this role, I have developed strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills while contributing to the team’s success and cohesion.
