Profile:
I started my swimming journey when I was two weeks old, I attended swimming classes until the age of 6. I then became part of a competitive swim team, swimming became my favourite thing to do and still is. Swimming can improve mental well-being and significantly alter your mood.
I am currently a student, I just graduated from my Bachelor degree on European Studies and I will start my Master in September on European Studies. On the side I am also part of Gay Swim Amsterdam (GSA) a queer swimming association.
Coaching Style:
I approach my classes with mindfulness and a positive attitude. At the beginning of every class I like to ask around to see what people struggle with the most and I make sure to find ways to improve their techniques.

- Rode Kruis certificate 2024

I have been successful teaching strokes and introduction to water.
