About Gemma

I've been teaching swim lessons for twenty years (since I was 14!) and consider it one of the most rewarding things I get to do. I am committed to ongoing education when it comes to teaching swimming and water safety and always want my "swim kids," as I affectionately call them, to have the best possible experience.

​

In addition to teaching swimming, I'm also a copywriter and editor for small business clients. I earned my B.A in English at Bowdoin College and my MFA in Creative Writing at UMass Boston. Previously, I spent a decade working as a nonprofit administrator for the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown.

​

When I'm not working or writing, you can find me hanging out with my pup, paddleboarding, spending time with friends, and enjoying the beauty of Cape Cod.
