Resume

Maya
Sharp

I have been described by teachers, friends, and coworkers alike as a talented, well-rounded individual with a kind personality. On-the-spot thinking and a creative eye are my strong suits.
Line Break
Through my current role as a coach at the Vancouver Rowing Club, I have become an alert, responsible, personable and engaging individual. During on-water sessions, I create a constructive and open environment for my rowers and by consequence, build long-lasting positive relationships.
