Career History
I have been a student athlete at the University of Mount Olive for four years. Within these four years I have develop my skills and work ethic while playing a sport as well as being a full time student. I have put in over 20 hours a week with practices, games, and travel time into my sport while maintaining good grades which shows I am just as dedicated and passionate about my work as I am about my sport. Being a student athlete has allowed me to become more of a leader and motivator to my peers, this will help me successful with my employment. Balancing both work and sports has made me the person I am today and has taught me many of my skills in which I possess.
I have also been a part of many great volunteer opportunities as you can see on my achievements page. Each opportunity has improved my knowledge and skills in diverse settings and populations. These opportunities have also furthered my communication and adaptability skills within each experience.

Resume
My philosophy is based on using the field of Exercise Science to improve other peoples’ lives by improving their physical well-being while always looking out for the humanity and uniqueness of each person. Adapting to each person’s uniqueness will not only gain trust but will also yield exceptional results. Realizing that everyone is different and that programs for success must be modified to the individual is an important consideration when dealing with clients. It is important to clearly identify goals and to be able to break these goals into smaller parts so that the client can detect some sort of success. Keeping the overall goal is important but it is also important to keep the shorter term goals so that the client can realize some success from their hard work.
The importance of eating properly and exercising regularly is an accepted foundation for having a long, healthy life. Health professionals can give people, every person, the right environment, guidance, regiment, and motivation to improve their life. This is a very powerful relevance and by truly caring about people and being focused on being an agent of change is a unique truth of the exercise professional. Practicing what you preach is important in gaining trust with the client. Fundamental truths in physical health practices do not change but often times the way to get to those truths have different pathways.
