I have been recently hired as a personal trainer at the RPAC on campus. This is an exciting job for it allows me to connect with peers and help them reach goals. It also connects me to the skills needed to be a physical therapists in which involves assessments and program designing to reach a healthier and stronger self.
This summer I am participating in a program that will allow me to be more prepared in applying for graduate school. It includes interview classes, observation hours, and being able to work along a working physical therapists. I have also received a job as a physical therapist aide. I am excited for this opportunity for it will expose me to the future career I desire to have. I am ready to learn through experience and find ways to connect with others interested in the same field in order to help each other.
The start of my second year I was able to start my employment as an assistant in the Facility Operations in the RPAC. I was later promoted to a manager the next semester. I have learned many hard and soft skills at this job. I am most proud of how much more a leader I became on the job. I became more comfortable with finding ways I am able to lead and mange a group of people when caring out tasks. I am also able to guide people during times of chaos when their is an emergency in place.
