From a very young age, the ocean and sports have played a central role in my life. I first developed my skills in swimming before practicing other disciplines such as basketball and volleyball. But it was in the water that I found my true calling, which led me to become a certified swim instructor and teach for two years at a well-regarded private school.

My passion for the ocean then led me to explore a wide range of water sports, including surfing, catamaran sailing, windsurfing, bodyboarding, and kayaking. Through extensive training with UCPA, I was able to refine my techniques and gain strong experience in these disciplines. For over ten years, I also worked each summer as a lifeguard, developing a strong sense of responsibility along with valuable safety and emergency response skills.

Surfing quickly became much more than a sport—it became a true passion and a way of life. For over fifteen years, I have dedicated myself to both practicing and teaching it, sharing my knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm with students from around the world. As an instructor, my mission is to guide each surfer through their learning journey, teach the technical foundations, and share that unique, free, and deeply personal connection with the ocean.
