& Lessons
“If it's got water, I'm into it—kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), rafting, sailing, or even open water swimming—I’m all about getting wet and having fun while doing it. I’m a certified kayak and SUP instructor. On top of that, I’m RYA First Aid trained, safeguard trained with a DBS check, and I’ve earned several personal progression awards.”
