Mary Octavo
I joined Compass International school in January 2020 as a Lifeguard. I am also support staff in the P.E department.
Before becoming a lifeguard, I had previous experience as a sales personnel. I am passionate about physical activities; I was a member of a local dragon boat team here in Doha and competed in 2017. I participated in a lot of local triathlons, marathons, cycling, and swimming races here in Doha, and in 2018 I finished an Ironman competition 70.3 in Subic Bay Philippines.
After that, I ventured into the world of scuba diving. I undertook scuba diving courses up to rescue diving which also includes water rescue and emergency first response training. In the same organization (PADI) I also did a Lifeguard course that eventually became my job today. I am a licensed IFA (International Fitness Alliance) level II Fitness Instructor.
In my spare time, I love teaching swimming, and mentoring beginner triathletes, both children and adults.
