Hi! I'm Kierstin and I am from Long Island, New York. I attend Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts where I am majoring in Finance. Back at home I work in the summer seasonally. As a lifeguard, lifeguard instructor within I teach and certify lifeguards in lifeguard classes, and safety coach where I supervise lifeguards and run trainings. As a lifeguard I worked for a company and also as a sole proprietor. In my free time I enjoy going to the gym, exploring new places, walking around outside, playing and or watching sports, and self-care.
