Summary
I am currently a second year student at FIU studying finance. At the moment I work at the YMCA as a personal trainer where i conduct client assessments, share the importance of personal training as well as maintaining fitness, and join people on their journey to fitness success as their personal trainer. Through this role I have learned many important skills such as client relationships, proper communication, fitness training, and sales as well. Along with my experience at YMCA, I have worked as a UPS store associate, a sales representative at Vector Marketing, a server at a fine dining establishment and a front store clerk at Publix. I feel all these experiences have individually contributed to the sharpening of many skills i feel would be useful in any career, and I am eager to display these skills in any workforce.
