Carissa Algea

My role as Director of the Owings Life Enrichment Center in Germantown allowed me to fine-tune natural gifts in teaching, leadership, creative, and communication. In addition to overseeing all daily activities, I managed the group exercise program, which boosted over 40 group exercise classes per week. In between classes and meetings, I met with clients to conduct fitness assessments, design exercise routines, and give weight machine tutorials.  

In December 2010, I completed a Master of Science in Human Movement Science with a concentration in Health Promotion from the University of Memphis. In May 2006, I received a Bachelor of Science in Applied Health Science and a minor in Health Promotion from Bowling Green State University. 

I have gained professional teaching experience through leading health education courses (Pilates and Tennis) at the university level, and teaching children’s dance classes, adult exercise classes, and seminars on various health topics. In my personal life, I have participated in over thirty theatrical productions and I enjoy cooking, baking, and sewing. So far, my international travel experiences include the Dominican Republic, Paraguay, and England.  I have a valid passport and am willing to travel! Given the opportunity, I would be pleased to discuss my qualifications with you. Thank you in advance for your consideration and time.
