Meet Our Instructors

Chicago native and lifelong water enthusiast. Founder of Aqua Sol LLC. With 14 years of experience in aquatics—including swim instruction, lifeguarding and lifeguard instruction, CPR/AED training, aquatic camp direction, and SCUBA diving—I bring a well-rounded and dynamic skill set in, on, and under the water. I spent 10 years working on Chicago’s lakefront as both a lifeguard and beach manager. Teaching aquatic safety and rescue training is a true passion of mine, driven by a daily commitment to empowering individuals with the skills and confidence to potentially save a life. I take pride in creating positive experiences, igniting new passions, and sharing my knowledge with those eager for adventure and growth.
