Prior to entering the fitness industry, I worked as a human service and social work specialist improving the lives of young adolescence, and special populations. Because of my life long involvement in the organized sports of wrestling, football, and track, my love and appreciation for fitness and health led me to research obtaining the best and current certifications needed to be a professional fitness trainer, and rehabilitation specialist.
The New York sports club was my first fitness job. In this quota driven customer service environment, I quickly learned the necessary skills to deliver a fitness service second to none. After two and a half years at the New York Sports club, I felt I needed to be in a more structured environment where quotas and sales were not predominate measures of my skills and abilities. Transitioning to corporate wellness has expanded my horizons, and allowed me to be more focused on servicing my clients.
