Hi! My name is Josephine, and I just moved to Arizona from Massachusetts in February 2024. I have experience working with kids of all ages through teaching both swimming and ski instructing. I grew up swimming on a swim team and was both a lifeguard and swim instructor in high school. I taught with Sunsational in 2024 as I settled into the area. I am now a full-time project manager at Cirtec Medical but would love to continue my love for teaching in the evenings. I really want to make a difference with what I do and make a difference in the lives of others. Swimming is a very important skill that everyone should know how to do on some level. If you choose me to teach your child, you wont be disappointed!
