Tell us about your career:
I started out as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer at UNC Chapel Hill while I was in undergrad. I had eight clients and a six am TRX class I led over the summer. Post graduation I became a full time personal trainer with O2 Fitness and left when an opportunity came to work with the Town of Morrisville. But I have always missed that one on one time assisting people directly.
I jumped into the Role of Fitness Specialist and program manager so I could serve the community in a larger scope and learn more behind the administration and business of the industry for almost four years. Nothing was more rewarding than a new participant stopping me after a fitness class to thank me for the workout. After some changes in life and an opportunity presenting itself with Prosource I decided to transition to the support and supplier side of the Fitness industry as I cultivate my own skills and develop my network.
What advice do you have for someone just starting in your field:
Network and make lasting relationships with those around you. So many people are looking for ways to help others, you just have to connect and share your passion. The only reason I learned about and interviewed with the Town of Morrisville was after a professor and friend of mine connected me with the supervisor, nearly two years after graduating college.
