What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that focuses on growth, fitness/health/wellness, recruitment, writing, and budget/program management.

I am a dedicated fitness manager with a strong background in program development and recruitment. My experience includes managing day-to-day operations of a federally contracted fitness center, where I successfully supervised group fitness instructors and maintained high facility standards. I take pride in designing and leading customized fitness programs that cater to diverse client needs, resulting in a high client retention rate.

Previously, I served as a National Recruitment Manager, where I sourced and placed qualified healthcare professionals nationwide. My efforts generated significant revenue for the company, showcasing my ability to meet staffing demands effectively. I have also held roles in program management and competitive sports supervision, where I honed my skills in administration, staff management, and event logistics.
