Meet The Team

Jessica Alvarenga

General Manager

Meet our General Manager, Jess!

I joined Goldfish in 2019 as a swim instructor and have grown into my current role over the years. Working at Goldfish has been one of my best experiences. Every day I get to meet incredible swimmers and watch their cconfidence grow, even when they start out a little unsure or nervous. Seeing their progress and celebrating their successes is truly the best part of what I do. 

I grew up in Norwalk and was part of my high school’s Junior ROTC program, eventually becoming the Squadron Commander for my unit. I am also from Guatemala!

I’m super excited to be the new GM of Stamford and I cannot wait to meet you and see your swimmers having fun and learning an importmant water-safety skill in the pool!

Katy was born in Bridgeport and raised in Norwalk. She joins us from one of our sister schools, Goldfish Norwalk, where she spent years building strong experience and a love for helping kids thrive in the water. She’s excited to bring her positive energy and knowledge to Stamford. 

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, trying new activities, and going on fun adventures whenever she can.
