I proudly serve as the Graduate Assistant for Group Fitness at Campus Recreation, where my responsibilities encompass teaching academic classes, leading dynamic group fitness sessions, overseeing the programming and training for the Women's Strength program, and working with personal training clients.

What has been your favorite class so far and why?

The highlight of my academic journey has been the Introduction to Personal Training class, as it not only allowed me to discover my passion but also led to a job that recognized my dedication. This recognition eventually resulted in my promotion to the position of Graduate Assistant.

I aspire to build a career in real estate, focusing on the ownership and management of small apartments. Additionally, I am passionate about assisting clients in enhancing their well-being by providing guidance on nutrition and physical fitness. My goal is to empower individuals to feel more confident and comfortable in their bodies, creating a holistic approach to their overall health and lifestyle.
