Carina Vasquez

My name is Carina, and I am aspiring individual that recently became a student of the Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi Kinesiology Graduate Program. I graduated from the Island University in August of 2016 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, and an emphasis in Exercise Science. The dry and hot West Texas city called Odessa is where I call home. My hometown is known for hot days, and Friday night high school football. My family and I are proud Permian Panther alumni, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish fanatics. 
 
   My love of exercise was first discovered during my freshman year in high school. My ten years of youth soccer training caught myself a starting position for the Permian Varsity soccer team. Starting my sophomore year, I was invited to join the Permian Varsity cross country team. The training of the two sports was challenging, yet exhilarating. Becoming a better athlete was a goal with addictive results. By the time I was ready to head off to college, I was fully embarked on a health journey to strengthen my knowledge and start my career.
 
    I first attended the Island University in the fall of 2013 with a major in Kinesiology, and an initial emphasis in Physical Therapy. My first semester was completed and that is when I scheduled an appointment with my advisor to change to Exercise Science. My passion for coaching and physical training was thriving.  I knew that this would be the best route to get where I want to be in the future. 
 
    The past three years at Texas A&M-CC has been an exceptional learning experience. I have developed many assets and skills in order to become a successful strength and conditioning coach. I am finished with completing an internship at Results- Personal Training regarding training and nutrition consulting. In the future I hope to obtain a stable strength and conditioning coaching job located in a sports performance facility. My long-term goal is to open up a strength and conditioning gym of my own.  I strive to build individuals mentally and physically through physical training. My greatest strengths are in verbal communication and building rapport. I plan to use these strengths to my advantage in order to create a larger network that will help fulfill my career goals.
